Easy Rider

Easy Rider

Directed by Dennis Hopper

The definitive counterculture blockbuster. The down-and-dirty directorial debut of former clean-cut teen star Dennis Hopper (BLUE VELVET), 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 (THE SHINING), and explosive ending—the American road trip would never be the same.

Two counterculture bikers travel from Los Angeles to New Orleans in search of America. With Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson and Karen Black.

Cast: Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson, Karen Black, Phil Spector, Tita Colorado, Antonio Mendoza, Mac Mashourian, Warren Finnerty
