When a powerful gang leader is shot during a meeting between all of the city's gangs, the blame is pinned on a Brooklyn clan known as the Warriors. Now members of this small bunch face a night of terror, as they try to return to Coney Island with an army of thugs hot on their trail. It's a long subway ride from the Bronx to Brooklyn, and anything can happen! [More]

Reviews for The Warriors
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
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?
The movie can also be enjoyed, and enjoyed thoroughly, as a mean, dirty piece of pulp mythology.
