In Tulsa in the 1960s, the students in the city belonged to two gangs in the north and the south. The members of the South Gang (Soc) are mainly middle-class students living in the south of the city, while students from poor origin who live in the slums belong to the North Gang (Greasers). People in the North and South gangs all looked at each other as unpleasant. Both sides had a deep grievance. Fighting and fighting were commonplace. The 14-year-old Ponyboy and his two elder brothers Sodapop and Darry, his 16-year-old best friend Johnny, and Dally, Two-bit, Steven who are slightly older than them belong to the Northern Gang. One day, Ponyboy, Johnny and Dally met two girls from the South Gang in the theater. This caused dissatisfaction with the boyfriend Bob, who is also a girl from the South Gang. The two sides almost fought. That night, Ponyboy was met by his brother because it was too late to go home. Darry reprimanded and ran out of the house. Johnny also left the house because his parents quarreled. The two were talking in the park yearning for an ideal world: there was neither the Chengnan Gang nor the Chengbei Gang. But at this time, drunk Bob and the Chengnan Gang appeared, trying to vent their dissatisfaction, and attacked the two. Ponyboy almost drowned in the pool, and Johnny stabbed Bob to death to protect him. The two asked Dally for help, and Dally let them hide in an abandoned church on the mountain. In the abandoned church, the two read the novel "Gone with the Wind". One day they watched the morning sun, they discussed that although the morning sun was beautiful, it was fleeting. After a while, Dally brought the two back to the city to discuss the treatment and rest. When they were returning to the church, another church caught fire and some children were trapped. The three rushed into the fire and rescued the children trapped in the fire. Came out, but Johnny and Dally were injured in the fire. The three were rescued back to the hospital for treatment and became heroes to save the children. They also learned that the two gangs had scheduled a duel. The next night, the fighting began in heavy rain, and the Chengbei Gang finally won. But Johnny died in the hospital from yesterday's injuries. Distraught, Dally robbed a shop deliriously, and was killed by the police while escaping. Later, the court ruled that Ponyboy was not guilty. The protagonist Ponyboy opened the "Gone with the Wind" left by Johnny. In the book, Johnny wrote a farewell book. He told Ponyboy that he didn't regret saving the children and asked Ponyboy to keep the goodness and kindness in his heart, which was different from the morning sun that day. This can be eternal.

Randy: You can't win. You know that, don't you? It doesn't matter if you whip us, you'll still be where you were before, at the bottom. And we'll still be the lucky ones at the top with all the breaks. It doesn't matter. Greasers will still be Greasers and Socs will still be Socs. It doesn't matter.

Cherry: I hope I never see Dallas Winston again. If I do I'd... probably fall in love with him.
