About "The Outsiders: The Complete Novel Edition"
1h54min, Drama, English, Rated PG-13.
Filmed in Tulsa and based on the beloved book by Tulsan S.E. Hinton, “The Outsiders” takes us back to the heyday of Route 66. The struggle between the Greasers and the Socs may be set in Tulsa for the story, but the drama was playing out in similar cities all along Route 66 as culture shifted. The “Complete Novel” edition of the film features an extra 22 minutes of footage Francis Ford Coppola edited back into the feature to bring the story more in line with the book – including an opening scene of Pony Boy walking out of the Circle Cinema.
A teen gang in rural Oklahoma, the Greasers are perpetually at odds with the Socials, a rival group. When Greasers Ponyboy (C. Thomas Howell) and Johnny (Ralph Macchio) get into a brawl that ends in the death of a Social member, the boys are forced to go into hiding. Soon Ponyboy and Johnny, along with the intense Dallas (Matt Dillon) and their other Greaser buddies, must contend with the consequences of their violent lives. While some Greasers try to achieve redemption, others meet tragic ends.
