We analyzed the energy and momentum distributions of laser-induced high-energy photoelectrons of alkali and rare gas atoms. For the plateau electrons with energies above $4U_p$, ($U_p$ is the ponderomotive energy), in the tunneling ionization regime, we showed that they originate from the backscattering of laser-induced returning electrons. Using the differential elastic scattering cross sections between the target ion with \emph{free} electrons, we explain experimental observations of whether the plateau electron spectra is flat or steeply descending, and their dependence on species and laser intensity. This quantitative rescattering theory can be used to obtain energy and momentum distributions of plateau electrons without the need of solving the time-dependent Schr\"{o}dinger equation, but with similar accuracy.
