By Sol Yurick. Based on Xenophon's Anabasis.

In a city overrun with gang violence, six members of the Coney Island Dominators (The Warriors in the film) suddenly find themselves deep within enemy terrain. Their journey home is fraught with violence, murder, and mayhem. What it emerges from this night of madness has a relevance to the large-scale human experience a relevance far surpassing its immediate front-page topicality.
