What happens
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors is a 1987 American fantasy slasher film directed by Chuck Russell in his feature directorial debut and written by Russell along with Wes Craven, Bruce Wagner, and Frank Darabont. It is the third installment in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise and serves as a direct sequel to A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). The film stars Heather Langenkamp, Patricia Arquette, Laurence Fishburne, Priscilla Pointer, Craig Wasson, and Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger. Nancy Thompson (Langenkamp), now a psychiatrist, and Kristen Parker (Arquette), a patient who can bring others into her own dreams, team up with other kids to launch a daring rescue into the dreamland and save a child from Freddy Krueger. After the mixed response to A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985), New Line Cinema sought out franchise creator Wes Craven to return to write the script for the third film, which he agreed to despite having a different idea for another Elm Street film. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors was theatrically released on February 27, 1987. The film grossed $44.8 million domestically on a budget of over $4 million and received positive reviews from critics, who considered it to be one of the best films in the A Nightmare on Elm Street series. It was followed by A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, released in 1988. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
