Was "The Outsiders" movie based on a true story?

Answer by  patti (29325)

"The Outsiders" is based on the book of the same name by S.E. Hinton. Hinton's goal was to convey real emotion through believable characters, which she did in all of her books. Really great fiction pulls you in as a riveting true story does.

No, the movie, "The Outsiders," was based on a book. The book was not based on a true story. I hope you are not let down.
