Synopsis
Based on the popular novel by SE Hinton, Francis Ford Coppola's film examines what causes gangs to fight. Two rival groups, the Socs and the Greasers, begin a feud when two of the Greasers become friendly with girls from the Socs side of town. The violence escalates, leading to an inevitable killing. Though the tragic storyline is familiar, The Outsiders has no shortage of originality and humour, not least of all in the characters' names, such as Ponyboy, Sodapop and Two-Bit. Many of the cast members, unknown at the time, went on to become major Hollywood stars.
