The Outsiders

Set in 1960s Tulsa, "The Outsiders" distills the volatile tensions between the working-class Greasers and the affluent Socs into a combustible mix of adolescent bravado and fatalistic despair. Following the tragic fallout of a clash between these rival groups, Ponyboy and Johnny's flight from justice lays bare the raw, unvarnished reality of their lives on the city's periphery, where innocence is shattered and the bonds of youth are tested against the backdrop of adult neglect and systemic inequality.
