The Outsiders
The Outsiders is at times overly, achingly sad, sometimes curiously staid, and always feeling in debt to something bigger. It is, I suppose, the feeling of a classic, done up for the present.

What is The Outsiders about?
In 1967 Tulsa, Oklahoma life is tough if you're poor. When young Ponyboy Curtis and his gang (the Greasers) get into trouble with rich kids (the Socs) the group of young men have no other choice but to flee.
