WAR IN THE STREETS

The night of July 4th. In the Bronx, a city-wide convention of gang leaders moves to organize New York's teen-age gangs into an army of 100,000 strong. But mistrust leads to insult and insult into open warfare, and soon the police move in. Suddenly, six members of "the Family" - the Coney Island Dominators - are alone on enemy terrain, hunted down and terrified for their lives. Their desperate flight back to the safety of Brooklyn becomes a journey filled with violence, a modern Odyssey gone terribly wrong, an adventure into every imaginable crime against mind and body...
