Our suggestions
In the near future, a charismatic leader summons the street gangs of New York City in a bid to take it over. When he is killed, The Warriors are falsely blamed and now must fight their way home while every other gang is hunting them down.
"Based on Sol Yurick's homonymous novel (inspired by the Greek history 'Anabasis', by the Greek historian and soldier Xenophon), 'The Warriors' is a movie directed by Walter Hill, about a dystopia in New York, focusing on street gangs that rule the city. At the time, it was poorly received for romanticizing violence, with stiff performances and dialogues. Today, however, it is considered a cult classic for the same reasons, a product of pop culture with a certain comic book aesthetic, whose scenes have become well known. It was an inspiration for other films, such as Quentin Tarantino's 'Pulp Fiction'."
