A coming-of-age drama about working-class youth caught between class warfare and the search for belonging, balancing violence and vulnerability with genuine emotional bonds.

In 1960s Tulsa, class divisions ignite a violent rivalry between the working-class Greasers and the privileged Socs. When a deadly encounter forces two Greasers, Ponyboy and Johnny, to flee, their struggle for survival and redemption exposes the fragile innocence and enduring bonds of youth on the wrong side of town.
