From the New York City Subway to Coney Island--uncover the gritty legacy of The Warriors, the cult classic that stormed the streets--and shaped mainstream culture--since 1979!
The Warriors opened to scathing reviews, big box office, and major controversy. Walter Hill's stylized tale of gang warfare wasn't just another action movie--it rewrote the rules of the genre. Vilified and celebrated in equal measure, it rose above its notoriety to become a cult phenomenon. Today, it stands as an influential classic, spawning cross-media spinoffs and offering a vivid snapshot of late-1970s New York City.
