lamoderna enjoys classic action movies.Plot summary:A gang called The Warriors are framed for killing a gang leader trying to unite all the gangs in the area. With other gangs gunning for them they must get back to the home turf of Coney Island... Alive.The film is based on Sol Yurick's novel The Warriors, which, like the film, depicts a New York City gang attempting to return to its home territory in Coney Island after being framed for the assassination of a gang leader at a nighttime rally, instigating a city-wide manhunt for the surviving Warriors by gangs from all over the city. The novel was loosely based on Anabasis by Xenophon, which records how the Greek mercenary company the Ten Thousand made its way through enemy Persian territory to the Black Sea after the death of Cyrus the Younger.It should be noted that, like other book-to-film adaptations, the story of Yurick's original novel is radically different from the film version, as Yurick himself observes in his introduction to the 2003 reprint, much to his dismay. From beginning to end, only a rough skeleton of the book is present in the movie. Significantly absent from the film version is an accurate recreation of the speech of the gang members, especially when they interact with each other. Moreover, the film version omits nearly all scenes where The Warriors (called the "Coney Island Dominators" in the book) struggle amongst themselves to maintain order, discipline, and a proper chain of command. Also missing from the film are two extremely violent scenes: the brutal murder of an innocent by-passer, and the gang rape of a girl taken from a rival gang.
