Description

John Carpenter’s hellish vision of gangs run amok has never looked better as we present his searing, ruthlessly violent ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 in a brand-new 4K restoration for its Florida Premiere on Saturday, March 4 at 10pm at the Classic Gateway Theater in Fort Lauderdale! A White-Hot Night of Hate! Written, directed, scored, and edited by John Carpenter two years prior to Halloween, ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 combines the template of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD with the spirit of RIO BRAVO to forge a movie like no other. The story follows a group of police officers (including the mighty Austin Stoker) and convicts as they join forces inside a soon-to-be-closed L.A. police station. The reason? They must defend themselves against Street Thunder, a vicious gang who have taken a blood oath to kill someone trapped inside the precinct. Combining gritty action with arthouse style, ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 features powerful Cinemascope compositions, a pulsing synth score, and an immersive mood that only Carpenter can deliver.
