Assault on Precinct 13
Assault on Precinct 13
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.

One of my favourite John Carpenter movies, I first saw this on Moviedrome back in 1990, and watching again, it has not lost any of its brilliance. A pretty quick set up makes way for a tense stand off with some very characters that make you care for each of them.
