John Carpenter's dystopian classic hits the big screen with its original score performed live by the man who helped create it. Composer Alan Howarth — who collaborated with Carpenter on the Escape From New York soundtrack and went on to score multiple Star Trek films — brings the synthesizers to CAC for a one-night-only performance alongside the film.

If you've never experienced a live score screening, this is the one. Howarth's pulsing electronic soundtrack was made for a theater, and hearing it performed in real time while Snake Plissken navigates Manhattan is something you won't forget.
