The overnight odyssey of a young gang falsely accused of a crime they didn't commit, and now desperately seeking a way back to their safe territory, forms the basis of this thrilling and illustratingly stunning night journey to the edge of the big city. Taking the action as far away from the realistic as he can, Walter Hill builds a fancy film world where colors become vivid and intoxicating, violence is represented with an infallible choreographic perfection, New York City is transformed into a modern jungle full of modern tribes, and scenes alternate in comic book logic. The result was a dazzling film that justifiably caused a sensation in its time and seems not to have aged a day, regardless of the fact that it is based on one of the oldest texts ever written: the «Anavasis» by Xenophon!
