2019 – After the Fall of New York

If there's anything we've learned from writing on this website, Italian cinema loves Snake Plissken and Escape from New York. They are also obsessed with the post apocalyptic era because I swear they made at least 5,792 films about it in the 80's. 2019 - After the Fall of New York (aka Dopo la caduta di New York) is another one of those films that blends both the post apocalypse and Snake Plisken, with a little bit of Planet of the Apes, and The Road Warrior thrown in there too. If I didn't know better, I'd think that director Sergio Martino and writer Ernesto Gastaldi were predicting the future with 2019, because it shares a main plot point with the 1992 novel by P.D. James "Children of Men" as well.
