    Walter Hill’s THE WARRIORS is a slam-bang, visually kinetic action movie that mixes a heightened comic book sensibility with a timeless tale from ancient Greece and sets them loose in the streets of modern America. In 1979 New York the gangs outnumber the cops by 5-1. Together, they could rule the city. Gang-leader Cyrus has a dream to do just that and calls a summit. The gangs of New York gather in their thousands, Cyrus takes the stage. From somewhere in the crowd a shot rings out and Cyrus falls down dead. In the chaos that follows, a small gang from Coney Island - the Warriors - are blamed. Now everyone is out to get them. On foot, in enemy territory, can they make it through the night to get back across the city to the safety of home turf? For all you boppers out there we present the iconic cult classic in a remastered original theatrical release. Can you dig it?
