1990: The Bronx Warriors

1990: The Bronx Warriors (Italian: 1990: I guerrieri del Bronx) is a 1982 Italian action-science fiction film. It was directed by Enzo G. Castellari, who also portrays the deputy-leader of "Manhattan Incorporated"...and whose real-life daughter, Stefania Girolami, stars in the movie as "Ann".

Ann is the 17-year-old heiress to the arms manufacturing giant, the Manhattan Corporation. Unable to face her guilt over inheriting a morally questionable company when she turns 18, Ann runs away into the lawless wasteland of the New York City borough of the Bronx. The film's opening intertitle explains: "1990. The Bronx is officially declared 'No Man's Land'. The authorities give up all attempts to restore law and order. From then on, the area is ruled by the Riders."

Attacked by a roller skating gang called the Zombies, Ann is saved by members of a motorcycle gang called the Riders and taken under the protection of their leader, Trash. They quickly fall in love.

Another powerful gang, called the Tigers, kills a Rider named Chris. The Tigers’ leader, the Ogre, informs Trash that Chris was carrying a "gizmo" – a covert listening device that looks like a watch and works on the same radio frequency as the Manhattan police. The Manhattan Corporation uses it to confirm Ann's location.

The Manhattan Corporation hires Hammer, a ruthless and psychopathic mercenary, to retrieve Ann. When he enters the Bronx, he kills two Riders, plants a golden ring in the gang's headquarters, and then flees the scene. The Riders give chase and try to catch Hammer, but he escapes.

Ann finds the golden ring and gives it to Trash, who recognizes that it belongs to the Tigers. Believing the Tigers were behind Hammer's attack, the Riders call for war. Trash, however, is skeptical.

The Zombies ambush and kidnap Ann. Trash tells the other Riders that he wants to ally himself with the Ogre to rescue her. Most of the gang dislikes this idea. As Trash and two loyal Riders fight their way across the Bronx, they encounter a musical-theatre-inspired gang, and a subterranean-dwelling gang called the Scavengers, which kills one of the Riders.

Meanwhile, a traitorous Rider named Ice discovers a local man named Hot Dog is working with Hammer. Ice informs Hammer about Ann's kidnapping and Trash's plan to save her. Ice then goes to the Zombies' headquarters and warns their leader, Golem, about the impending rescue attempt.
