Based on the novel of the same name. The story of young men growing up facing hard times where they have little going for them. Two opposing groups, the Greasers and the Socs, continually fight against each other and their "turf".
I remember reading the book and seeing this film in middle school. It was also on TV a couple of weeks ago and peeked my interest. A great and very youthful cast of characters who have, for the most part, all gone on to have very successful movie careers. As for the story, it didn't have any affect on me personally. It was enjoyable but as I was as numb about it after watching it as I was before I rewatched it.
