ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13

This gem of low-budget action filmmaking from John Carpenter takes the western classic Rio Bravo and moves it to modern-day Los Angeles. When a gun-toting street gang lays siege to an almost-abandoned police station in retaliation for the murder of some of their own, an explosive confrontation takes place as the desperate staff enlists the aid of prisoners to repel the attack. Austin Stoker, Darwin Joston, and Nancy Loomis star. 91 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Region Free
