Written by director Walter Hill and David Shaber, from the novel by Sol Yurick, THE WARRIORS opens to middling reviews but solid box-office. Expertly crafted, modern day riff on the ancient Greek Anabias epic stars Michael Beck as the de facto leader of a framed-for-murder NYC street gang plunged into desperate, all-night, Spartan-like against-the-odds, cross-city battle to reach the sanctuary of their home turf. A cult classic.
