Plot Summary:Hit from 1969 is an important pioneer of the American independent cinema movement, and a generational touchstone to boot. Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper play hippie motorcyclists crossing the Southwest and encountering a crazy quilt of good and bad people. Jack Nicholson turns up in a significant role as an attorney who joins their quest for awhile and articulates societys problem with freedom as Fondas and Hoppers characters embody it. Hopper directed, essentially bringing the no-frills filmmaking methods of legendary, drive-in movie producer Roger Corman (The Little Shop of Horrors) to a serious feature for the mainstream. The film cant help but look a bit dated now (a psychedelic sequence toward the end particularly doesnt hold up well), but it retains its original power, sense of daring, and epochal impact.
