About this product

Product Information

The high school scene of the Bronx in 1963 is ruled by rival gangs. The Wanderers are the Italians-only gang, ruled by a group of streetwise, fast-talkin' boys looking for good times and pretty girls in the streets of their tight-knit neighborhood. This charming vignette of 1960s Bronx life, set to the bopping music of the era, follows the lives of boyhood friends and fellow Wanderers Richie (Ken Wahl), Joey (John Friedrich), Turkey (Alan Rosenberg), and newcomer Perry (Tony Ganios) as they fight their local competition, the Baldies, a group of menacing bald-headed toughies, and struggle to make it to a big football rumble with the slick Del Bombers, the local rival black gang. Along the way, Richie is forced to face the repercussions of a romance with a local Mafia daughter (Toni Kalem) while Perry and Joey realize the truth about their hard-living parents (including Olympia Dukakis as Joey's mother). All the while the boys carouse and party at their neighborhood hangouts, living life on the edge while struggling to avoid the other gangs. THE WANDERERS, directed by Philip Kaufman (who later went on to direct THE RIGHT STUFF and THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING), is a simultaneously nostalgic and bittersweet vision of street life in 1960s New York, exploring the hardships of growing up on the streets and protecting gang members at any cost while facing the future and losing childhood innocence. The soundtrack features classic tunes by Dion, the Shirelles, the Four Seasons, the Angels, and others.

  • Fabulous Underground Classic

    Totally engaging movie. From the storyline, to the great soundtrack, The Wanderers is non-stop entertainment. From 1979, the story of gangs in the Bronx in 1963, has great characters, great music, and great cars. Ken Wahl and Karen Allen have a chemistry on screen that is mesmerizing. All the characters are fun to watch, and the movie moves along very well. Totally enjoyable, spend a couple bucks, and enjoy yourself for a couple of hours.

  • Classic Up there with The Outsiders

    Great Movie. We all as red blooded American Males identify with machismo of adolescence. The girls, the glory, and the future. Very true to the racial tensions in school. Good movie.

  • Not overly impressed

    Unfortunately, despite the 'honable' price tag, I did not see what was so "Rare" about it. I expected Special features, Directure's cut, Cast updates, as other DVDs provide. Disappointed !
