"The little road movie that came out of nowhere and changed Hollywood forever."
- Lee Hill, Easy Rider: BFI Modern Classics

"An astonishing work of art and an overpowering motion picture experience." - Los Angeles Times

"One of the ten more important pictures of the decade." - Time Magazine

Released in 1969, Easy Rider broke the mold of Hollywood studio production, making stars of Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson and launching a new wave of radical and experimental American Cinema. Easy Rider was one of the crucial films of the late 1960s, a film which enshrined the ideals of the counter-culture but also foresaw the demise of these ideals in the despair and paranoia of a nation rocked by Watergate and the Vietnam War. It was the seminal road movie and a massive financial success which spawned endless imitations. But few films since have been able to catch its particular blend of innocence and cynicism, hope and despair.
