Synopsis
Framed for the murder of charismatic gang leader Cyrus during a midnight peace summit of 100,000 gang members in the Bronx, a street gang called The Warriors must fight their way unarmed through fifty miles of hostile territory and rival colorful gangs—the Baseball Furies, the Lizzies, the Rogues—to make it back to their turf on Coney Island before dawn: 'Warriors, come out to play-i-ay!' Walter Hill and Sol Yurick's comic-book-aesthetic urban Odyssey masterpiece featuring Andrew Laszlo's glistening neon rain camera.
