Snake Plissken<img src="http://blogs.allocine.fr/blogsdatas/blogs/l/u/ludonebula/img/last08.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Snake Plissken is a former U.S. Army Lieutenant. He was a war hero serving under Special Unit Black Light, with two Purple Hearts, and the youngest soldier to be decorated by the U.S. President for bravery during campaigns in Leningrad and Siberia in World War III.Some time later, he turned to a life of crime, probably due to the perceived betrayal of the United States government during the "Leningrad Ruse". Snake took up with partners Harold Hellman (later known as "Brain") and Fresno Bob. In Kansas City around 1993, Hellman apparently let Plissken and Fresno Bob get cornered by police (when they meet later in Escape from NY, Brain says, "You were late."), at which time Fresno Bob was apparently killed by the United States Police Force.Possibly as a result of the Kansas City incident, it was widely believed in the criminal community that Plissken was dead. This is a recurring joke in Escape from New York - "I heard you were dead." In Escape from L.A. the recurring joke is changed to 'I thought you'd be taller.'</blockquote>
