The Outsiders | Related Titles/Adaptations
Warner Brothers produced a featurelength version of The Outsiders in 1983. It is rated PG and is available on video. The movie follows the plot of the book closely but leaves out much of Ponyboy's introspection. Still, the movie remains true to the spirit of the book, and it adds nothing that is not in the book. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, who also directed Rumble Fish (1983), the film stars C. Thomas Howell as Ponyboy and also features Matt Dillon, Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe, and Diane Lane. Hinton makes a brief appearance in the movie as a nurse.
