Fox’s Mike Ireland brought it in and will steer. Carpenter will be an executive producer and will exert creative influence over the project. The original was released by Avco Embassy, and the rights were owned by Studiocanal. Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman’s The Picture Company will produce. Without this proof the advantage at the negotiations is gone.EXCLUSIVE: Snake Plissken is back! Fox has emerged from competitive bidding and closed a deal to remake the 1981 John Carpenter-directed cult classic Escape From New York. A third explanation could be the information on the tape is proof of superior nuclear advancement to back up threats made. But the boring answer is that it really doesn't matter what was on the tape in the briefcase, as the tape and the briefcase together are a 'MacGuffin', a plot device to get the story going.
Either way, the President failing to deliver the technology ends all hope of the summit's success. Revealing these secrets might be (again) a goodwill gesture to the enemy or part of the terms of the summit. Another possibility might be that the tape describes all of the nuclear secrets of the United States. Giving the technology to the enemy might be a goodwill gesture or revealing the technology might have been a condition of Russia and China's appearance at the summit. One is that the tape's recording contains a description of some revolutionary form of nuclear power which the President is sharing with the Communist nations. So we know the contents of the tape are related to nuclear technology.
The voice on the tape describes radioactive elements before it's shut off.
At one point in the cab, a brief portion of the tape is played. Cold fusion was, at the time of the movie's production, a theoretical process to create unlimited energy. When Snake asks what is on the tape, Hauk replies by asking Snake what he knows about cold fusion. Besides, the President could have written the speech down instead of recording it on a tape, and his staff would have had a copy of the speech. That seems unlikely, since there's no reason the President couldn't have improvised a new speech containing the basic theme of the old one. One possibility is that the tape contains the speech that the President was going to deliver at the Summit. Without the President and the tape, Hauk says, the representatives of China and the Soviet Union will go back to their countries, presumably to continue fighting the war. Hauk says that the President's arrival is "critical to the fate of the human race," so the summit is most likely a last-ditch effort to put an end to World War III, an all-out nuclear war. China and the Soviet Union are waiting at the summit, so the implication is that (in the movie's alternate future) the U.S. Hauk states that the United States is at war, and that the President was on his way to a meeting called the Hartford Summit. The contents of the tape are never explicitly revealed in the movie, but we can make certain assumptions.
