The Warriors
60 min; Drama/Action
Creators; Frank Baldwin, Anthony Russo
Studios; Getaway Productions, Paramount Television
Starring; Jonathan Lipnicki, Nathan Stephenson, Dexter Darden, Keith David
small screen take on the Sol Yurick novel-turned-1979 Walter Hill film which will honor the original film while adding its own unique brand of grit, pulp, sex and violence
1.01
Cyrus, leader of the Gramercy Riffs, the most powerful gang in New York City, calls a midnight summit of all the city's gangs, requesting them to send nine unarmed delegates to Van Cortlandt Park. The Warriors, from Coney Island, attend the summit. Swan and Cowboy reflect on how they joined the Warriors after meeting Cleon during a side trip to Riverside Park.
1.02
Cyrus proposes to the assembled crowd a permanent citywide truce and alliance that would allow the gangs to control the city since they outnumber the police by three to one. Most of the gangs applaud his idea, but Luther, leader of the Rogues, shoots Cyrus dead. In the resulting chaos, Luther frames the Warriors' leader Cleon for the murder, and Cleon is beaten down and most likely killed by the Riffs. Meanwhile, the other Warriors have escaped, unaware that they've been implicated in Cyrus' murder. The Riffs put out a hit on the Warriors through a radio DJ. Swan, the Warriors' "war chief", takes charge of the group as they try to make it back home. Almost immediately the Warriors are spotted by the Turnbull ACs who attempt to run them down with their bus, but the Warriors manage to escape and board the subway.
1.03
On the ride to Coney Island, the train is stopped by a fire on the tracks, stranding the Warriors in Tremont, in the Bronx. Setting out on foot, they come across a group called the Orphans who were not invited to Cyrus' meeting and who are insecure and belligerent about their low status in the city gang hierarchy. Swan makes peace with the Orphans' leader, Sully, who agrees to let the Warriors pass through their territory unharmed. However, a young woman named Mercy mocks Sully as a "chicken" and instigates a confrontation. Mercy's goading convinces Sully to demand that the Warriors take off their colors and go as civilians before walking through their neighborhood. Swan and the Warriors flatly refuse Sully's demand, and the Orphans challenge them to a fight. Outnumbered and unarmed, Swan and the Warriors throw a Molotov cocktail at a car, blowing it up and using the opportunity to escape to the subway station. Impressed, and desperate to escape her depressed neighborhood, Mercy follows the Warriors. Cowboy and Ajax remember a night when Ajax was beaten up by the Orphans while scouting the area for Cleon, and how Ajax helped him exact revenge.
1.04
When they arrive at the 96th Street and Broadway station in Manhattan, they are chased by police and separated. Three of them, Vermin, Cochise, and Rembrandt, make the train to Union Square, while Fox, struggling with a police officer, falls onto the tracks and is run over by a train as Mercy escapes. Swan and the remaining three Warriors, Ajax, Snow, and Cowboy, are chased by the Baseball Furies into Riverside Park, where a brawl ensues in which the Warriors defeat the Baseball Furies.
1.05
After the fight, Ajax notices a lone woman named Chloe in the park, becomes sexually aggressive and is arrested when Chloe turns out to be an undercover police officer. Arriving at Union Square, Vermin, Cochise, and Rembrandt are seduced by an all-female gang called the Lizzies and invited into their hideout. The trio manages to escape the Lizzies' subsequent attack, learning in the process that everyone believes they murdered Cyrus. Ajax tells his prison cell mate about the time a new gang "The Kings" formed in their Bensonhurst neighbourhood and fought for turf.
1.06
Having scouted ahead on his own, Swan returns to the 96th Street station and finds Mercy there. More police show up and Swan and Mercy flee into the tunnel. They have an argument and Swan continues to Union Square where he reunites with the other Warriors. A fistfight ensues with the Punks in a public restroom which the Warriors win. Meanwhile, the Riffs are visited by a gang member who attended the earlier gathering and saw Luther shoot Cyrus. Mercy shares the story with Swan on how her boyfriend was killed last year by the Riffs.
1.07
It is revealed that the Riffs didn't kill Cleon outright. He managed to escape. This episode details Cleon's flight from the Riffs, his unlikely saviours being a group of misfits at a Manhattan disco. In the meantime Luther leads the Rogues toward Coney Island where they will lay in wait for the Warriors.
1.08
In the style of "Heavy Metal" this episode recaps the series so far, in an animated musical.
1.09
Cleon makes his final way back to Coney Island, but first has to find a way to tip off the Riffs that the Rogues are also on their way to Coney. The Warriors finally arrive at Coney Island at dawn, only to find the Rogues are waiting for them. When asked, Luther tells Swan he shot Cyrus for no reason, because he gets a thrill out of things like that. Swan challenges Luther to a one-on-one fight, but Luther pulls his gun instead. Swan throws a knife into Luther's wrist, disarming him. The Riffs arrive and apprehend the Rogues. The Riffs acknowledge the Warriors' courage and skill. As the Warriors leave, Luther screams in anguish as the Riffs descend upon the Rogues. Ajax makes a surprising return to challenge Swan for leadership; only to have to face off against Cleon instead. The radio DJ announces that the big alert has been called off and salutes the Warriors with a song, "In the City". Swan, Mercy, and the rest of the gang walk down the beach, illuminated by the rising sun.
