February 9 1978 

THE WARRIORS opens. Written by director Walter Hill and David Shaber, from the novel by Sol Yurick. A false murder rap plunges small Coney Island street gang on a desperate run for home turf through a violent, all-night, cross city, police & street gang-lined gauntlet. Stylish, balletic urban fantasy riff on the ancient Greek Anabiasis epic with well-earned cult cred. Michael Beck headlines as the gang's level-headed, de-facto leader.
