Young Warriors, also known as The Graduates of Malibu High, is a low budget American crime-drama film starring James Van Patten, Ernest Borgnine, Richard Roundtree, and Lynda Day George. It was released theatrically by Cannon Films on August 26, 1983. It has only been released on VHS and on Laserdisc in the United Kingdom.

Plot

A young woman (April Dawn) is gang raped and murdered by the bikers in a California college town, sparking her brother Kevin (James Van Patten) to take up arms by night with a gang of like-minded vigilantes from his fraternity, brutally punishing any miscreants they catch in a criminal act. In the meantime, Kevin debates the issue of violent crime in the U.S. with his teachers and others during the day. As Kevin and his gang head toward a final, bloody confrontation with the low-lifes who murdered his sister, other scenes show the difference between his character, now violent, and the people he is supposedly protecting.
