November 5 1976 

ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 opensWritten and directed by John Carpenter.  Much lauded, micro budgeted Rio Bravo/Living Dead riff set in decommissioned LA police station where a skeleton staff and a couple of prisoners-in-transit become unlikely allies in an allnight tooth and nail battle to repel the deadly, unrelenting onslaught of a shadowy, heavily-armed street gang looking to avenge the murder of its leader. With Austin Stoker, Darwin Joston and Laurie Zimmer.
