About this movie

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're after the Warriors - a street gang blamed unfairly for a rival gang leader's death. This contemporary action-adventure story 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. This intense and stylized film is a dazzling achievement for cinematographer Andrew Laszlo.

1 gang numbering 20 against 120,000 enemies, battle their way to home turf, 27 miles away. Beyond all odds, they prove their innocence, make it home and walk in honor.

If you were born in the era of the release of this movie and you were a teenager...oh man then your part of a BEST generation thing for movie's like this. Plus the way of life in the late 70's and early 80's. No mtv...no stupid cell phone's and especially none of this crap now called gangster rap crap. It was plain jane as can be. Colloried pants chucks on your feet and a flannel to keep warm. I miss my era and all the folks that were there during my early teen years.Todays youth will never catch that magic
