Outdoor Family Film Series continues at the Mission Marquee with The Outsiders

Now celebrating its 40th birthday, the timeless coming-of-age drama The Outsiders is coming to the Mission Marquee Plaza for a free screening thanks to the San Antonio World Heritage Office and Slab Cinema. Based on the endearingly popular 1967 YA novel by S.E. Hinton and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, the film features early performances by Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe and C. Thomas Howell. The Outsiders depicts the rivalry between two gangs divided by socioeconomic status — the working-class Greasers and upper-crust Socs — complete with legal trouble, friendship and loss.
