A battle of gigantic proportions is looming in the neon underground of New York City. The armies of the night number 100,000; they outnumber the police 5 to 1; and tonight they are after the Warriors – a street gang blamed unfairly for a rival gang leader’s death.The action takes place at night, underground, in the sub-culture of gang warfare that rages from Coney Island to Manhattan to the Bronx. Members of the Warriors fight for their lives, seek to survive in the urban jungle and learn the meaning of loyalty.
“No one could have predicted it would be considered one of the greatest ‘cult classics’ in film history… there isn’t a living director that can capture what made this movie work!”
—Dante James, Film Threat
Based on Sol Yurick’s 1965 novel of the same name, which he based on “Anabasis” by Xenophon (who died in 350 BC) about Greek mercenaries sent to seize the Persian throne. The result is an intense and stylized film marking a dazzling achievement for cinematographer Andrew Laszlo.
