Walter Hill's hip, super-stylized action film unfurls in a dystopian near-future, when various gangs control New York City. Each gang sports a unique moniker ('The Warriors,' 'The Baseball Furies,' 'The Rogues'), with a costume underscoring its "theme"; each, in turn, is also responsible for one geographic area.

Cartoonishly violent, insanely moody and pointless.
A cult film that deserves its reputation.
The Warriors Rule! One of the best action-thrillers of the 70s!
Yeah, it's really good.
...not a great film, but it is an entertaining one. (HD DVD Edition)
The only trouble is that I half expected them to break out into song and dance any minute a la West Side Story.
OK, it's not Greek tragedy, but it is based (loosely) on Xenophon, so there.
Visually stunning and emotionally gripping, THE WARRIORS is a classic that, after a quarter-century, has finally recieved the loving finishing touches that it so rightly deserves
See it once, and you'll want to see it again.
Tight, terse and tough. The great Walter Hill once again proves he has few equals when staging intense confrontations.
Just what is the fanboys' beef with the new DVD "Director's Cut" of The Warriors, anyway?
As far as late '70s films about the terrors of NY subways by night go, The Warriors is right up there with Maniac and Dressed to Kill.
Come out to plaaaaaaaaay....
