Full Plot Details

Netting a hefty profit from their latest drug deal, hippies Wyatt and Billy decide to outfit themselves with among other things motorbikes - Wyatt complete in what they call his Captain America gear and similar motif on the bike - and chucking any structure in their lives beyond the want to get there for the event, cycle from their home base of Los Angeles to New Orleans for Mardi Gras in just over a week. They don't plan to spend their proceeds on this trip - they saving that for a more carefree life in Florida after the fact - they sleeping in the great outdoors along the way. While Wyatt is more easy going, believing in the karmic nature and practicality of helping others when they can and in turn asking for help when they need it, Billy is a little more suspicious of the people they encounter, especially in hiding their wad of cash that is stuffed into the gas tank of Wyatt's bike, that money their future. They will find that not all counter-culturalists have the exact same mindset, while they will also find the spiritual and practical connections to others in perhaps the most unlikely of places and people. But they will also ruffle some feathers just for being hippies, arguably in the fear not of them as people but what they represent. Through it all, Wyatt in particular evaluates if the trip ends up being what he expects or wants for his life.

Movie Reviews

The New York Review of Books - 10/10 by Ellen WillisBeyond the melodrama of groovy kids vs. rednecks is an emotion that more and more of us, young and old alike, are experiencing, the overpowering sense of loss, the anguish of What went wrong? We blew it -- how?
Austin Chronicle - 10/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenFonda and Hopper’s now-classic film hit the old guard with the force of a rifle shot to the head. [Review of re-release]
Montreal Film Journal - 10/10 by Kevin N. LaforestIf one movie can evoke a whole era, this is it.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertSomeday it was inevitable that a great film would come along, utilizing the motorcycle genre, the same way the great Westerns suddenly made everyone realize they were a legitimate American art form, Easy Rider is the picture.
Kansas City Kansan - 10/10 by Steve CrumStill gets the motor runnin'--a classic of its time.
LYTRules.com - 10/10 by Luke Y. ThompsonI don't think I'll watch EASY RIDER again, but it's a well-made piece for sure.
Variety - 10/10 by Gene MoskowitzFonda himself has given this a fine production dress, with associate Bert Schneider, and the brilliant lensing, excellent music background ballads, especially Bob Dylan's "Easy Rider," are fine counterpoints to this poetic trip along Southwest America.
Film Freak Central - 10/10 by Walter Chawlike all great films, with a finger firm on the pulse of the entire spirit of the age, it predicted in terms brutal and eloquent the end of the whole fucking thing.
CraveOnline - 10/10 by Witney Seibold"Easy Rider," even for those uninterested in the legacy of 1960s counterculture, punches the viewer in the gut with its hopelessness and emptiness.
CineVue - 10/10 by Christopher MachellNot only emblematic of independent American cinema, but, released in 1969, is the definitive statement on the death of the 60s.
