John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13 locks audiences inside a decommissioned South Central Los Angeles police station while Street Thunder gang members exact revenge against the LAPD. Lieutenant Ethan Bishop (Austin Stoker) is in charge of three convicts, a startled, silent citizen, and a strong-willed secretary as the gang outside their doors wreaks mayhem. Carpenter's direction leads with his own score of high-intensity synthesizer music accompanying Bishop on his crusade to heroism.
