Short description

In 1960s Tulsa, class divisions ignite a violent rivalry between the working-class Greasers and the privileged Socs. When a deadly encounter forces two Greasers, Ponyboy and Johnny, to flee, their struggle for survival and redemption exposes the fragile innocence and enduring bonds of youth on the wrong side of town.

What's left behind the scenes

  • For Coppola, this low-budget and stylistically simple film was a respite after the resounding failure of the spectacular film “One from the Heart.” For the group of young actors that the master invited to the film, it became a successful start in the big screen.
  • The film is based on S.E. Hinton's novel "The Outsiders" (1967).
  • The 2005 version had a runtime of 114 minutes.
  • The death of Matt Dillon's character closely resembles the death of his character in "Over the Edge" (1979).
