The Outsiders (1983) - The Complete Novel (UK-import)
Extended cut of Francis Ford Coppola's tale of gang rivalries in 1960s Tulsa, Oklahoma. Based on the novel by S.E. Hinton, the story depicts the ongoing feud between the rich middle-class 'Socs' and the working-class 'Greasers' from across town, which include 14-year-old Ponyboy Curtis (C. Thomas Howell), his brothers Darrel (Patrick Swayze) and Sodapop (Rob Lowe) and 16-year-old Johnny Cade (Ralph Macchio). The simmering feud escalates into murder, revenge and betrayal when some of the Greasers get too close to one of the Socs' girlfriends. The cast also includes Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez and Diane Lane.
