This is a siege! It’s a Goddamn siege! stand your ground with John Carpenter’s tense and taut action classic. After a street gang viciously attacks a nearly abandoned police station, it’s up to the remaining cops and prisoners to hold off the bloodthirsty intruders before they all blow sky-high. Loosely inspired by Rio Bravo and Night of the Living Dead, with non-stop nail-biting action and a synth score from Carpenter himself, this movie kicks all the ass!
