Easy Rider
Leaving July 31
•
1h 35m
Directed by Dennis Hopper • 1969 • United States
Starring Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson

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.
