Based on the best-selling novel by S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders is Francis Ford Coppola's classic coming-of-age drama starring a veritable who's who of the 80s Bratpack - C Thomas Howell, Ralph Maccio, Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon, Patrick Swayze, Emilio Estevez, Tom Cruise and Diane Lane. When Ponyboy and Johnny, members of the poor "Greasers" gang from the wrong side of the tracks, meet Cherry Valance and Marcia at the drive-in, the wealthy "Socials" gang vow to take revenge on the Greasers for muscling in on their girls. Later that night tensions escalate when the two gangs meet, and suddenly Johnny and Ponyboy find themselves on the run for murder... A cult classic that hasn't been available in the UK for many years, and never before on Blu-ray.
