We’re thrilled to welcome C. Thomas Howell back to Central Cinema for a very special screening event as he tells stories & answers questions about his experience in the leading role of Francis Ford Coppola’s classic ensemble drama THE OUTSIDERS, which helped catapult a generation of young actors to silver screen prominence.

Door will open at 7pm, followed by the Q&A at 7:30pm and THE OUTSIDERS at 8pm; separate tickets are also available for a 6pm preshow meet & greet session for autographs & photo ops. (Please note that this is a third-party event hosted by Central Cinema and ticketed directly through our event organizers.)

A teen gang in rural Oklahoma, the Greasers are perpetually at odds with the Socials, a rival group. When Greasers Ponyboy (C. Thomas Howell) and Johnny (Ralph Macchio) get into a brawl that ends in the death of a Social member, the boys are forced to go into hiding. Soon Ponyboy and Johnny, along with the intense Dallas (Matt Dillon) and their other Greaser buddies, must contend with the consequences of their violent lives. While some Greasers try to achieve redemption, others meet tragic ends.

“One of the most overtly aesthetic, art-for-art’s-sake films in Hollywood’s history, a faux-naïf Pre-Raphaelite mural in which angels with dirty faces but immaculately pure hearts burn with a hard, gemlike flame before being snuffed out in their prime.” – Sight & Sound
