Police ambush and kill several gang members in Los Angeles. Gang members make a pact of blood to strike back at police, and conduct a siege on the police station which is almost abandoned and due to be closed. Staff of the closing precinct and the criminals being held there while in transit must work together to fight off the attacking gang members.
Carpenter self-consciously uses Hawks”Rio Bravo’, adds a touch of Romero’s ‘Night Of The Living Dead’ and comes up with arguably the most exciting siege movie of all time. This gem is a perfect example of superior low budget film making. Relative unknowns Austin Stoker (‘Abby’) and Darwin Joston (‘Eraserhead’) are both outstanding as the stars of this taut and unpredictable thriller, and the supporting cast includes Laurie Zimmer (sadly her only movie), Nancy Loomis (‘Halloween’), Kim Richards (‘The Car’ – in the movie’s most controversial and memorable scene), and Carpenter semi-regular Charles Cyphers (‘Escape From New York’). One of Carpenter’s best efforts and overall an extraordinarily underrated movie. ‘Assault On Precinct 13’ is a classic! Add this to your “must see” list immediately!
