The Outsiders

Two rival teen gangs. Some are still in school, clinging to a hopeful future. Others are marginalized young outsiders with slicked-back hair. Nearly all of them are searching for a place in a society that doesn't reflect them, where the straight path comes with an easy temptation toward violence… Just a few months earlier, Coppola himself had released another story of teen gangs with "Rumble Fish" (1983), a hypnotic and unconventional film in its format that even included dreamlike touches.
