The Warriors are falsely accused of killing a messianic like leader ("Cyrus" is a thinly veiled variation of "Christ" - and watch the way Cyrus falls after he's shot). On the run from various groups of thugs who pursue and persecute them for this false assumption, the Warriors finally make it to their "homeland" of Coney Island only to realize that they can't find peace there either. At the end, the most powerful gang - the Riffs, agree to carve out Coney Island for The Warriors, but the Riff leader says "the rest is ours." To me, The Warriors symbolize the Jews and Coney Island symbolizes Israel
