POEM
"The year is 1966 and if you were a kid growing up in Tulsa you belonged to one of two groups. You were either a "soc" or a "greaser". "Soc" is pronounced like society, and means just that: money, nice cars, nice homes and a bright future. "Greaser's are the poor kids from the bad side of town with no future and no real hope. Always at each other's throats, the two warring groups fight to save face and prove themselves.
Ponyboy is a fourteen year old Greaser, tough and confused, yet sensitive behind his bold front. Since his parents' death, his loyalties have been to his brothers and his gang, the rough, swinging, long-haired boys from the wrong side of the tracks. When his best friend, Johnny, kills a member of a rival gang, a nightmare of violence begins and swiftly envelops Ponyboy in a turbulent chain of events.
Francis Coppola directs this future all-star cast in this retelling of S.E. Hinton's classic novel from 1967 about growing up.(Note: Did you know that S.E. Hinton was actually only 16 when she wrote this).
