The story centers on a New York City gang who must make an urban journey of 30 miles (48 km), from the north end of to their home turf in Coney Island in southern, after they are framed for the murder of a respected gang leader. It was released in the United States on February 9, 1979. Surprisingly in reality on December 8, 1971, the was an important gathering of New York City gangs in the Bronx.After reports of vandalism and violence, Paramount temporarily halted their advertising campaign and released theater owners from their obligation to show the film.
Despite its initially negative reception, The Warriors has since become a, and it has spawned multiple spinoffs, including video games and a comic book series. Contents.Plot Cyrus, leader of the Riffs, the most powerful gang in New York City, calls a midnight summit of all the city's gangs, requesting them to send nine unarmed delegates to. The Warriors, from, attend the summit. Cyrus proposes to the assembled crowd a permanent citywide truce and alliance that would allow the gangs to control the city since they outnumber the police by three to one.Most of the gangs applaud his idea, but hidden in the crowd, the Rogues leader Luther shoots Cyrus dead just as the police arrive and raid the summit.
In the resulting chaos, Luther frames the Warriors' leader Cleon for the murder, and Cleon is beaten down and apparently killed by the Riffs. Meanwhile, the other Warriors escape, unaware that they have been implicated in Cyrus' murder. The Riffs put out a on the Warriors through a radio. The Warriors' 'Main Lieutenant' Swan takes charge of the group as they try to make it back home.Almost immediately the Warriors are spotted by the Turnbull ACs who attempt to run them down with their bus, but the Warriors manage to escape and board an elevated train. An unstated protocol of the time was that the subways were 'neutral ground' and no gang warfare was allowed on the trains.
On the ride to Coney Island, the train is stopped by a building fire alongside the tracks, stranding the Warriors in, in the Bronx.Setting out on foot, they come across a lower-echelon group named the Orphans who were not invited to Cyrus' meeting and who are sensitive and belligerent about their low status in the city's gang hierarchy. Swan makes peace with the Orphans' leader, Sully, who agrees to let the Warriors pass through their territory unharmed. However, a young woman named Mercy mocks Sully as a 'chicken' and instigates a confrontation.Mercy's goading convinces Sully to demand that the Warriors take off their 'colors' and go as civilians before walking through their neighborhood.
Swan and the Warriors flatly refuse Sully's demand, and the Orphans challenge them to a fight. Outnumbered and unarmed, Swan and the Warriors throw a at a car, blowing it up and using the opportunity to escape to the subway station. Impressed, and desperate to escape her depressed neighborhood, Mercy follows the Warriors.When they arrive at the station in Manhattan, they are chased by police and separated. Three of them, Vermin, Cochise, and Rembrandt, make the train to Union Square, while Fox, struggling with a police officer, falls onto the tracks and is run over by a train as Mercy escapes.Swan and the remaining three Warriors - Ajax, Snow, and Cowboy - are chased by the Baseball Furies into, where a brawl ensues in which the Warriors manage to outwit and defeat the swarm of attackers. After the fight, Ajax notices a lone woman named Chloe in the park, and insists on lagging behind to chat her up. He becomes sexually aggressive and is arrested when Chloe turns out to be an undercover police officer.Arriving at, Vermin, Cochise, and Rembrandt are seduced by an all-female gang called the Lizzies and invited into their hideout.
The trio manages to escape the Lizzies' subsequent attack, learning in the process that everyone believes they murdered Cyrus.Having scouted ahead on his own, Swan returns to the 96th Street station and finds Mercy there. They're cornered by a police officer, who Swan immobilizes by throwing a baseball bat at him. More police show up and Swan and Mercy flee into the tunnel. The sexual tension between the two boils over, and they have an argument - Swan spurns her and continues to Union Square where he reunites with the other Warriors. A fist-fight ensues with the roller-skating, overall-clad Punks in a public restroom which the Warriors win, while Mercy proves she can hold her own in the fight.Meanwhile, the Riffs are visited by a gang member who attended the earlier gathering and saw Luther shoot Cyrus.The Warriors finally arrive at Coney Island at dawn, only to find Luther and the Rogues are waiting for them.
When asked, Luther tells Swan he shot Cyrus for no reason, because he gets a thrill out of things like that. Swan challenges Luther to a one-on-one fight, but Luther pulls a gun instead. Swan dodges his shot and throws a knife into Luther's forearm, disarming him. The Riffs arrive and apprehend the Rogues, taking a moment to acknowledge the Warriors' courage and skill. As the Warriors leave, Luther screams in anguish as the Riffs descend upon him and the other Rogues.The radio DJ announces that the big alert has been called off and salutes the Warriors with a song, '. ^ EXTRA SECURITY: Keeping an Eye on 'Warriors' SCHREGER, CHARLES.
