Los Angeles. Street gangs unite and declare war to the police. Meanwhile, a father stops his car in a suburb and his daughter goes to an ice-cream truck to buy a cone. She is murdered in cold blood by a member of one gang. The father follows the guy, kills him and runs to Precinct 13. Officer Bishop has just assumed command of the police station, which is not in operation but waiting to be closed the next morning. With him are two female employees. Right before the arrival of the shocked father, a bus transporting three prisoners stops there and the escort police requested cells to lock in the prisoners. One of the prisoners is sick and they are waiting for a doctor. Suddenly the precinct is under siege and violently attacked by the street gangs.

Classic submitted by jibkidder on July 25, 2022, 11:59pm This Carpenter classic was made just before Halloween. A real master at rendering genre films artfully, especially given the unique ambiance of his music, it is great to revisit these early films of his, and even better to have it on Blu-Ray.
