Anni dopo il suo intervento a New York, che salvò la vita al presidente degli Stati Uniti, Jena Plissken ha una nuova missione: deve entrare nella città di Los Angeles, trasformata in un carcere per chi ha compiuto "crimini morali" contro il nuovo regime teocratico, e recuperare un prezioso apparecchio da cui potrebbero dipendere le sorti del mondo, caduto in mano a uno spietato terrorista.
