4K Restoration
L.A.’S DEADLIEST STREET GANG JUST DECLARED WAR ON THE COPS.
A brand new 4K restoration of John Carpenter’s explosive triumph.
Written, directed, scored, and edited by John Carpenter two years prior to Halloween, Assault on Precinct 13 combines the template of Night of The Living Dead with the spirit of Rio Bravo to forge a movie like no other. The story follows a group of police officers (including the mighty Austin Stoker) and convicts as they join forces inside a soon-to-be-closed L.A. police station. The reason? They must defend themselves against Street Thunder, a vicious gang who have taken a blood oath to K*ll someone trapped inside the precinct. Combining gritty action with arthouse style, Assault on Precinct 13 features powerful Cinemascope compositions, a pulsing synth score, and an immersive mood that only Carpenter can deliver.
