Rating:

Teen rivalry in a small Southern town sets the stage for this dramatic interpretation of the novel by S.E. Hinton. Directed by Francis_Ford_Coppola, The_Outsiders tells the story of the ongoing conflict between the Greasers and the Socs in rural Oklahoma. C._Thomas_Howell stars as Ponyboy, the youngest of three orphaned boys who pal around with the local hoods known as the Greasers. When Ponyboy and his friend (Ralph_Macchio) get into a deadly confrontation one night, the two go on the run from the cops, and they grow up quickly and soon realize the insignificance of their petty posturing. Matt_Dillon stars as the tough-as-nails leader of their group and Patrick_Swayze appears as Ponyboy's oldest brother. A host of other 1980s Brat Pack celebs fill out the cast. Dillon later appeared in another Coppola adaption of a Hinton book, Rumble_Fish. Bernadette McCallion, Rovi
