 The baddest gang leader in New York, Cyrus, has called a meeting in the Bronx with the intention of forming one gang large enough to outnumber the cops and take over one borough at a time.  

But when Cyrus ends up dead, the Warriors from Coney Island take the rap and every face-painted, chain-swinging and bat-toting maniac in town wants to take them down.  Alone and outnumbered, the Warriors must fight their way back to their turf and clear their name in this action-packed cult movie classic!
