The action movies of the ’70s are far different than subsequent generations.
The emphasis wasn’t always on straight brawn; a hero had to be both physically and mentally tough.
Based on a novel by Sol Yurick and directed by Walter Hill, The Warriors is a taut little action flick about a tough street gang wrongfully accused of killing the most powerful gang leader in the city.
They must fight their way back to their home turf while avoiding every other gang that’s out for blood.
