This is 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 (Five Easy Pieces), and explosive ending the American road trip would never be the same.
