"Warriors, come out and play!"

So goes the iconic line from this legendary violent retelling of an Ancient Greek tale. Based on "The Anabasis" by Xenophon which tells the story of a band of Greek mercenaries trying to make their way home through enemy territories, "The Warriors" (1979) transposes this tale to the tough worlds of New York City in the 1970s. Instead of a band of Greek mercenaries, it's a street gang making their way home through enemy neighborhoods.

Civic leaders feared the film would cause violence. Is it still dangerous after all these years?

Find out as Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dr. Gary Stickel roam with The Warriors.
