An exploration of class and gang violence in 1960s Oklahoma, The Outsiders (1983) follows the escalating conflict between two rival groups: the impoverished Greasers and the affluent Socs. When a member of one gang accidentally kills a member of the other, tensions rise to a boiling point. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, and featuring stars such as C. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, and Ralph Macchio, this film is a thought-provoking look at the complexities of youth and society.
