This week at The Film Club we're kicking off our John Carpenter Month with his action suspense thriller Assault on Precinct 13. The film is about a ruthless LA Gang who are wreaking havoc across Los Angeles and their antics lead them into a war with a soon to be closed down precinct. Lieutenant Ethan Bishop is the officer who is in charge of making sure the decommissioned Anderson Police Precinct is permanently closed by morning but things take a turn in the quiet precinct when a prison bus makes an unscheduled stop at the precinct. During the chaos of new inmates being loaded into the precinct cells and trying to reach a local doctor for help, a man in distress runs into the precinct seeking salvation. All hell breaks loose when the precinct is suddenly under a barrage of bullets and with no back up Lieutenant Bishop has to rely on a secretary and two of the inmates to help him fight off the relentless gang outside of the precinct. Can this gang be stopped by the small group inside of the precinct? Or will the inmates turn on Lieutenant Bishop? Join us as we dive into the world of Assault on Precinct 13.
