C. Thomas Howell as Ponyboy Curtis Matt Dillon as Dallas Winston Ralph Macchio as Johnny Cade Patrick Swayze as Darrel Curtis Rob Lowe as Sodapop Curtis Emilio Estevez as Two-bit Matthews Tom Cruise as Steve Randle. 1983 drama about the tension between members of two rival gangs.
Character Analysis. Seventeen-year-old Sodapop is Mr. Personality and backs that up with lots of heart. Like his brother Darrel, he's fashion-plate handsome, and since he's a Curtis, he's smart, athletic, and hard working, to boot. In contrast to Ponyboy's conflicted emotions regarding Darry, Pony's feelings for Soda are entirely positive. He idolizes and loves his older brother and sees how smart he is. Pony's only problem with Soda is that Soda dropped out of high school.
