The Warriors is a cult classic 1979 film directed by Walter Hill and based on the 1965 novel by Sol Yurick. The film also borrows certain elements from the Anabasis by Xenophon.
Warriors (1999) is a British television drama serial, written by Leigh Jackson and directed by Peter Kosminsky. It starred Matthew Macfadyen, Damian Lewis and Ioan Gruffudd. The music was written by Debbie Wiseman. It was screened on BBC One.
The series tells the story of a group of British peacekeepers serving in a peacekeeping operation of the UNPROFOR in Vitez, in Bosnia during Lašva Valley ethnic cleansing in 1993.
The film emphasises the contradictions of the mandate of the peacekeepers, and the psychological trauma that they sustain while being forced to observe atrocities committed on civilians and deliberate provocations without being able to intervene.
The ironic title of the programme is taken from the name of the armoured vehicle used by the British forces, the FV 510 Warrior. In the U.S., the film was re-titled Peacekeepers.
