    “A moody, eccentric take on the classic Homeric premise of a hero’s journey home. The Warriors opens with delegates from all the New York City street gangs summoned to a single place for a speech by a messianic leader. Shortly after the speaker calls for the gangs to unite to terrorize the populace, he’s shot by crazed hoodlum David Patrick Kelly, who immediately fingers the Coney Island gang The Warriors for the crime.

    With all the city’s gangs after them, plus the police, the accused street toughs have to negotiate the subway system and enemy turf, where thugs like the Baseball Furies and the lesbian Lizzies await them. One of the few tailor-made cult movies that deserves its cult, The Warriors has a rich pulpy atmosphere that seems sprung from a lurid comic book, even if Hill’s new version didn’t put such a fine point on it.” (Scott Tobias, The Onion A.V. Club)

    We’ll be screening the original theatrical release, not the 2005 director’s cut.

    Directed by Walter Hill. US. 1979. R. 92 min. Paramount. 35mm.
