Released in 1976, Assault on Precinct 13 is the epitome of the action cinema adage "old is gold." This American action film directed by John Carpenter tells a thrill-a-minute tale of a beleaguered police precinct. True to its highly charged, horrifying action style, the movie is one of the all-time classics with a stripped-down style and the ability to generate tension. It paved the way for many action films to follow.
