Warriors is the lost U.S. Cavalry troop that goes out on a mission and finds themselves deep in Indian Territory without their captain to lead them back. I always go back to old movies for my reference points.

Still, gotta love the great touches in this movie. The late night DJ come narrator/greek chorus has even been used in Burger Kind commercials.

Love this movie.

Walter Hill's said some good things in interviews about just how much a lot of Wild West/frontier folklore is like Greek history. :) The Xenophon stuff is for real, and planned, and all that, but what you say is true too. I like it when that happens.

I'm really fond of this movie. I think that it's deeply true to a feeling in a lot of people of that era - not realistic, but emotionally faithful. And yes, the DJ is absolutely glorious.
