About this movie:
In 1966 Tulsa, teenagers come two ways. If your a "Soc" your've got
money, cars, and a future. But if your a "Greaser," you're an outsider with nothing but your friends....and a dream that someday
you'll finally belong.
Francis Coppola's powerful film of S.E.Hinton's classic novel capters
how it fells to be caught between childhood's innocence and adulthood's disillusionnment. The ensemble is a who's who of young
talents of the past two decades: Matt Dillon, Tom cruise, Emilio Estevez, C. Tomas Howell, Diane Lane, Patrick Swayze, Rob
Lowe, and Ralph Macchio.
"The outsiders takes place in an enchanted moment in the lives of
all those boys, " Coppola says. " I wanted to catch that moment, to take these young street rats and give them heroic proportions."
Visually and movingly, Coppola Has made them heroic and unforgettable.
