Hinton was there and this is her story, yet the movie is almost as stylized as West Side Story. The Socs behave like preppy boys and wear swanky threads, yet are unaccountably into gang fighting. The Greasers mostly have to walk while the Socs have been given cars by their parents. The dividing line in Tulsa is between rich and poor. It's almost nostalgic to see a movie where race and ethnicity are not issues. All the production trimmings and overheated drama are just too much of a good thing. Francis Coppola refers to it repeatedly as a Gone with the Wind for teens, which perfectly describes the problem. The Outsiders is a curious case of a movie adaptation drowned by too much creative input.

On the way home they encounter an out-of-control fire, and stop to rescue some small children. The two fugitives decide to give themselves up when it's learned that Sherri will testify on their behalf. Ponyboy and his pal Johnny Cade (Ralph Macchio) flee to the next town helped by Dallas Winston (Matt Dillon), a Greaser with a real criminal rap sheet. Ponyboy is attracted to a Soc girl named Sherri Valance (Diane Lane), igniting a conflict that culminates in the stabbing death of a Soc boy. Local authorities continually threaten to break up their poverty-level family, mainly because all three boys are prominent members of the Greasers, a gang of lower class Tulsa kids that fights often with the Socs, boys from the right side of the tracks who have real prospects in life. With both of his parents dead, he's being raised by his older brothers Darry (Patrick Swayze) and Sodapop (Rob Lowe). Thomas Howell) is a promising student in a bad situation. As if sensing the over-emotionalism of the original cut, Coppola also jettisons some of his own father's music score in favor of period radio rock 'n roll, in the tradition of American Graffiti. The additions lend greater depth and breadth to the story and characters while changing the overall look of the picture – both the beginning and conclusion are now different. This new DVD reinstates over two reels of footage cut for the original theatrical release. The resulting movie retains all the problems of earlier delinquency movies underneath its overproduced melodramatics. Coppola boosts the book's modest graces up to the level of a mini-epic, hyping the drama into the 'Gone With the Wind' of teen gang tales. His first post-genius movie is The Outsiders, from an intimate and sensitive novel about displaced teens struggling in a gang environment in Oklahoma. The director of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now found himself in the same commercial riptide other directors had to endure, having to come up with a hit to stay solvent. Francis' Coppola's currency as a great filmmaker has dwindled in recent years, but the fallout began a quarter of a century ago when his Zoetrope empire crumbled with the box office failure of One from the Heart.
