Alessandro Prete
Alessandro Prete, born to Italian actor Giancarlo Prete, made his mark in the 1983 film Escape from the Bronx. In this gritty action film, he plays a pivotal role, navigating the chaotic streets of a dystopian New York. With roots in both American and Italian cinema, Alessandro has primarily worked in Italian television, but his early collaboration with his father set the stage for his career. His performance in Escape from the Bronx remains a notable entry in the realm of cult cinema, reflecting the era's unique blend of action and social commentary.
Escape from the Bronx
A vicious corporation tries to kill and starve the last remaining habitants of the Bronx in order to build their own high-rise developments. A lone long-haired, hot-tempered warrior, Trash, is his only obstacle. Trash, a psychopathic bomb-maker and his equally psychopathic preschool son and an annoying activist help him out by kidnapping "the President" (of the corporation), a Richard Dreyfuss look-alike. Henry Silva plays another psychopath, this one on the side of the corporations.
