THE WARRIORS (1979) - Directed by Walter Hill; Starring Michael Beck, Deborah Van Valkenburgh
Rated R - 92 minutes

Join Michael Gingold and Chris Poggiali, authors of Armies of the Night: The Warriors and its Legacy, for a screening of this cult classic film. Michael and Chris will  introduce the film, lead a post-screening discussion, and sign copies of their book (available October 21, online and in bookstores.)

 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!
