Movie c. 1990s, man flees prison village at end

Movie, circa 1990s, may have been Australian. Probably a dystopian near future, almost a Mad Max scenario I think.

Police guard a sort of captive village. A captive in there, the hero, is trying to escape. At one point he hides behind a shop counter with a gun while the shopkeeper talks to a police officer / prison guard. At the end, he steals an ATV, crashes the gate, and speeds away, hysterical with happiness as he drives. (Unlike most such movies, he escapes alone).

Any memory of the name of the movie? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.251.71.25 (talk) 16:09, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Escape from New York or Escape from L.A. maybe? --Jayron32 16:20, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

It's not Escape from New York - I saw that recently, and it doesn't have the specific plot points the OP mentions MChesterMC (talk) 08:27, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

No Escape almost fits. InedibleHulk (talk) 17:08, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

The Village (The Prisoner)? Except IIRC Number Six never actually escaped Robinh (talk) 01:50, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
