John Carpenter’s Escape From Far Far Away(1981)

The Year is 1997 and in a police state future the kingdom of Far Far Away has been turned into a maximum security prison. The rules are simple: once you’re in, you don’t come out. But when the United States president (Bill Clinton) crash lands an escape pod into the center of the city after fleeing a hijacked plane, a ruthless prison warden bribes ex-soldier and criminal Shrek Plisskin into entering the hazardous Far Far Away and rescuing the distraught president from the twisted world of Far Far Away and from the demented clutches of its new ruler Lord Farquaad in John Carpenter’s cyber-punk, action, suspense shrektacular.
