The Warriors was a decent violence exploitation movie from the mid to late seventies. Basically it is about a gang called The Warriors in New York City, where Cyrus, the leader of the city's top gang and a very charismatic leader, has called a meeting of all of the gangs to discuss a truce and carving up the city peacefully among themselves.
Each gang agrees to attend by sending nine members per gang, and all of them agree to not carry any weapons.
During his speech, Cyrus is killed and The Warriors are blamed for his murder. They narrowly escape but then are faced with the difficult task of somehow sneaking through all of the rival gangs, who want them dead, as well as the New York City Police.
It's got some pretty good tense scenes as well as some nice action and fight scenes. The acting is also marginally better than you would expect of a film of this type even though nobody really famous is in this movie.
Worth seeing and I wouldn't be surprised if this idea was remade sometime soon.
