Summary
A generation-defining movie about two friends on a motorcycle journey across the country, who face increasingly brutal persecution as they pass through small town America. The down-and-dirty directorial debut of former clean-cut teen star Dennis Hopper, Easy Rider heralded the arrival of a new voice in film, one pitched angrily against the mainstream. After the film?s cross-country journey?with its radical, New Wave?style editing, outsider-rock soundtrack, revelatory performance by a young Jack Nicholson, and explosive ending?the American road trip would never be the same. Bonus features include: CD Songtrack, making of documentary, commentary, and British Film Institute Modern Classic Book
