Two fascinating urban legends, where ancient heroes and gunslingers roam the neon-lit streets of modern cities. Director Walter Hill has always been a big fan of westerns but by the turn of the 70s and 80s, when he made his break as a filmmaker, Hollywood was not interested in the genre any more. On the contrary, urban-set thrillers were the popular genre at the time. Therefore, Hill decided to merge his passion with the current trend and created an oeuvre full of fascinating films which blend western ethos with slick urban settings. From his filmography, which includes popular hits like 48 Hrs., and Red Heat, but also the TV classic Deadwood, we present two of Hill’s foremost cult and original films – The Warriors and Streets of Fire.
