The Outsiders

1983·Movie·PG·91 min·7.2(1,562)

They grew up on the outside of society. They weren't looking for a fight. They were looking to belong.

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.
