As the police converge on the scene, all of the Warriors except for their leader Cleon manage to escape, but they are now faced with a nearly impossible task: trying to make their way from literally one end of New York City to the other while being hunted by every gang member in the city, as well as the cops. Notable for being very loosely based on Xenophon's Anabasis. More than 25 years after the film came out, it was used as the basis for a video game that has been generally considered to be a spectacular aversion of The Problem with Licensed Games.
