Air traffic control receives a transmission from David 14. Rehme tells Hauk about a plane approaching restricted air space. The plane turns out to be Air Force One. They receive a transmission from a member of the National Liberation Front of America who states they are going to crash Air Force One into Manhattan. The President gets into his escape pod and Air Force One crashes into the side of a building. Hauk takes two helicopters and lands in Manhattan but is told to leave by Romero or the President will be killed. The Vice President, Secretary of State and Hauk have a phone meeting and decide to go with Hauk's plan. Snake Plissken is brought to Hauk's office and offered a deal, if he goes into Manhattan and rescues the President within 24 hours he will be pardoned for all his crimes. Snake agrees to go on the mission. He is forced to take a strong "anti-toxin" injected by Cronenberg which turns out to be tiny explosives set to go off in 21 hours. Snake calls Hauk and tells him the monitor was on the wrong person and the President is dead however Hauk tells him to continue the mission. The Duke is using the President as target practice when he shoots the President's briefcase open. The briefcase, which was attached by a handcuff to his wrist, drops a cassette tape, which Romero takes. A helicopter is hailed by a group of convicts, the convicts run away leaving the President's briefcase. Hauk reads a letter found in the briefcase to the Secretary of State and Rehme. The Duke demands amnesty for all convicts in New York City in exchange for the President. When Snake frees the President, Hauk dispatches helicopters to Snake and the President's location. The Duke is shot by the President as the Duke was about to shoot Snake. Snake hands over the tape to Hauk and Cronenberg administers the charge to destroy the mini bombs in Snake's arteries. Hauk offers Snake a job, but Snake walks away.
