OFS SILVER SCREENINGS: THE WARRIORS

OCTOBER 15-18
OFS Silver Screenings Presents
THE WARRIORS
$9 General Admission/$6 OFS Members

Walter Hill’s hip, super-stylized action film unfurls in a dystopian near-future, when various gangs control New York City. Each gang sports a unique moniker (‘The Warriors,’ ‘The Baseball Furies,’ ‘The Rogues’), with a costume underscoring its “theme”; each, in turn, is also responsible for one geographic area. Hill sets up the landscape as a massive, violent playground – replete with bridges, vacant subway tunnels, parks, abandoned buildings and the like, all ripe for exploration and adventure. –
Nathan Southern, Rovi
Dir: Walter Hill / 1979 / US / 93 min

“One of the great cult films of all time.” – Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid

“It’s endlessly quotable, endlessly re-watchable, and it flipped the values of ’70s action movies on themselves. It’s something special.” – Tom Breihan, AV Club

“The Warriors is stylish, exciting, and imaginative with a striking visual design that transforms New York City into a nocturnal fantasy world of the near future.” – Jeff Stafford, TCM
