This coming-of-age drama, based on the S. E. Hinton novel, starred several up-and-coming actors alongside Cruise, including Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze. The Outsiders is the only 1983 film for Cruise where he doesn’t have a starring role. Risky Business, Losin' It and All the Right Moves were his other films released that year.
