Rockstar’s Forgotten 2005 Action Game Remains One of Its Best
Released in 1979, The Warriors is a movie based on a 1965 crime novel that has since become a beloved cult classic. The film has a raw, dark look – intentionally shot on film to create a tense and unsettling atmosphere. This is offset by its over-the-top story and quirky characters, which helped it gain a following after its initial release. The movie takes place in a fictional New York City overrun by gangs, who essentially control different parts of the city and are constantly battling the police. The story follows the Warriors gang after they’re wrongly accused of killing Cyrus, the leader of the city’s most powerful gang, who was trying to unite all the factions. The film then depicts their dangerous journey back to their home territory in Coney Island, as they fight to survive against numerous rival gangs.
