"New York City. Home to over 7,000,000 people. They work and play by day. But when night comes, the street gangs take over the five boroughs, known simply as "The Armies of the Night"- One hundred thousand sworn rivals such as: The Furies, The Boppers, The Rogues, The High-Hats, The Lizzies, The Turnbull A.C.'s, and The Gramercy Riffs, just to name a few. But only one gang is perhaps the most toughest: The Warriors. Based from the outskirts of Coney Island and led by Swan (Michael Beck), they head up towards Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx for a special meeting/truce by Cyrus, the "Lord Byron of the City". It is then that a gang member shoots and kills Cyrus and falsely accuse The Warriors for it. Now the boys from Coney are on the run. Between them and safety stands over 20,000 NYPD cops and the enemies. With only one chance at escape and only one night to do it, The Warriors will do anything possible, if necessary, to get back home. Even if it means picking up a broad along the way. Tonight they are all out for THE WARRIORS"
Now if that doesnt sound like a sweet movie, I do not know what will. I have not seen this film yet but there is also news of a remake thats being done by MTV films for release in 2006. The scipt is set in LA instead of NYC and many of the major characters from the original film will not be featured in it. Anyway for more information on this movie check out these two sites
