Synopsis
"This early John Carpenter movie still holds up as one of the director’s best works.” – TV Guide’s Movie Guide
“***** (Five Stars) Often described as a melding of Howard Hawks’ Rio Bravo and George A. Romero’s Night Of The Living Dead, this is one of the ultimate siege movies.” -- BBC
Isolated and cut off from the city inside a soon-to-be-closed L.A. police station, a group of police officers and convicts must join forces to defend themselves against the gang called Street Thunder, who have taken a blood oath to kill someone trapped inside the precinct.
From John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing and Prince Of Darkness), Assault On Precinct 13 combines the elements of a classic western and a modern thriller to create a riveting cult classic.
