Synopsis: Cyrus, the leader of the most powerful gang in New York City, the Gramercy Riffs, calls a midnight summit for all the area gangs, with all asked to send nine unarmed representatives for the conclave. A gang called The Warriors are blamed for killing Cyrus as he gives his speech. They now have to cross the territory of rivals in order to get to their own 'hood. The Warriors slowly cross the dangerous Bronx and Manhattan territories, narrowly escaping police and other gangs every step of the way.

And I'm sick of this running crap.

Come on. This way.

Hey.

- You know where that cat's headed.

- Yeah. Reinforcements.

We're gonna get japed here.

We're gonna get japed.

No matter what he says,

nobody lip-off.

Nobody get hot.

I'm gonna see what I can do.

- When did you turn into a diplomat?

- Yeah.

You ain't exactly

the State Department type.

Fox, you come with me.

- You ought to show me your invitation.

- How do you figure?

Well, you come armying down here,

invading our territory.

No permits, no parley.

We're not invading.

And I'm parleying right now.

We were just at that big meeting

up in the Bronx.

We're going home to Coney.

The train gets messed up by the fire

and dumps us here.

I don't know what

you're talking about, man.

How could this be a big meeting

if the Orphans wasn't there?

You didn't miss anything. There was a

lot of hassle. A lot of heads got busted.

You think the Orphans ain't with it?

You think we ain't well-known?

- We didn't say that.

- Well, we got a heavy rep.

You mess with us,

and you'll find that out.

You see that?

They write about our raids

in the paper.

Yeah.

That's really heavy.

The Orphans, right?

Yeah, our youth worker,

she talks about you guys all the time.

We ain't got one.

That must be because you guys

are so bad, they're afraid of you.

You can make it through our territory,

as long as you're coming in peace.

Cut it, Mercy.

You know what that is, don't you?

Yeah.

Trouble.

Those vests are real nice.

Lighten up, Mercy.

Stop looking for trouble now.

- I should've slapped your mouth

- So who stopped you?

Come on. Give me one.

Just one.

I just want one vest.

You can get another one, man.

No chance.

Are you just gonna let an army walk

through here any time they feel like it?

- How's it gonna look?

- Get lost.

You know, pretty soon, every gang

is just gonna boogie right in,

soldier right through.

I'll tell you, some man you are.

Take your colors off,

you can walk through.

- We don't do that.

- It's just our mark. It don't mean war.

You go as civilians, okay? Go as

soldiers, I gotta come down on you.

Now take off your colors.

You hear me?

F*** you.

We're not gonna hide who we are just

because some whore shakes her ass.

Don't call me no whore.

I ain't no whore!

Let's go.

We're marching to the next station

through these lame fucks's territory.

Now let's move.

Yeah. That's right, Warriors.

Just keep walking.

Real tough mothers, ain't you?

You guys don't show me much.

Why don't you d*ckheads

just walk all the way back home!

- Boy, that chick's got some mouth.

- You two were terrific back there.

- You guys let them down, but good.

- His ass gonna be ringing for a month.
