How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A rollicking, gleefully over-the-top action romp through a sunken Los Angeles where nothing is taken seriously. Snake Plissken, reluctant, eyepatched, and indestructible, navigates a trash-fire dystopia with surfboards, basketball, and casual contempt for authority.
