The Meeting[]
See also: The Warriors (Film), Desperate Dudes
The Gladiators were one of the gangs invited by Cyrus and the Riffs to the conclave held in Van Cortlandt Park. The gang sent nine delegates from their territory in Canarsie to the conclave in the Bronx; it is unknown what became of the gang's delegates when Cyrus was shot and the meeting was interrupted by the cops.
In the Film[]
They are seen in the film's opening montage of various gangs making their way to the meeting.
In the Game[]
It's possible they were in that large cutscene at the big meeting. They are replaced by the Punks in the short shot of them in the subway during the movie.
