Cyrus, leader of the Gramercy Riffs, declares a truce and calls a summit with the intention of uniting all of the New York City area gangs against the dwindling power of the NYPD. However, during his speech he is assassinated by Luther, leader of the Rogues. Luther subsequently frames the Warriors, getting the Warriors leader Cleon murdered by a few Riffs members (however, the film only shows Cleon being brutally attacked due to a fault in the script) and forces the rest of the gang to flee the conclave, which has since dissolved into chaos. The Warriors make their way at night through sparsely populated subways, streets and alleys in the city while running from and battling hostile gangs and the police. Along the way they lose members, split up, and gain/kidnap a (sometimes hostile) female companion named Mercy who becomes involved with the second-in-command, Swan, all while trying to get home. The film ends after a final showdown with the Rogues at the protagonists' home turf of Coney Island. At the end, Swan throws a knife into the wrist of the Rogues' leader, disarming him. The Riffs have massed on the beach, and, having already learned the truth from an unnamed gang member, swarm (and presumably kill) the Rogues as the Warriors head off down the shore.

That's certainly...interesting.
