We have a crisis. The juvenile gang problem is completely out of control…It is true that law enforcement has been driven to deplorable extremes but those guns are out there and believe me if the people who have them get organised no one will stand a chance Police Commissioner Davidson of L.A County PD.
An isolated police station is in the process of relocation. Lt. Ethan Bishop Austin Stoker, Roots is a dedicated cop overseeing the job. But when a busload of convicts make an unexpected pitstop, including notorious death row prisoner Napoleon Wilson Darwin Joston, The Fog, the precinct becomes a scene of restless animosity and bubbling testosterone.
Their situation is soon compounded by a ruthless street gang surrounding the station, armed to the hilt and ready to rampage against the establishment. Under siege, convicts and cops must unite to face the gang and survive the brutal and bloody onslaught.
Two years before he revolutionised the horror genre with cultclassic Halloween, maverick filmmaker John Carpenter The Thing, They Live exploded onto the scene with this gritty urban western, displaying an arsenal of bad guys, stylish setpieces with tension to burn and attitude to match.
Propelled by Carpenters signature atmospheric music and suspenseful approach Assault on Precinct 13 is an incendiary thriller of high impact.
