Description of this Easy Rider Poster
Easy Rider is a 1969 American independent film written by Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Terry Southern, produced by Fonda and directed by Hopper. Fonda and Hopper play two bikers who cross the southwest and south of the United States, transporting the proceeds of a cocaine trade. The success of Easy Rider helped launch the New Hollywood era in the early 1970s.
A seminal counterculture film and "touchstone of a generation" that "captured the national imagination", Easy Rider explores the societal landscape, issues and tensions towards adolescents in the United States in the 1960s , such as the rise of the hippie movement, drug use, and communal living. Real drugs were used in scenes showing the use of marijuana and other substances.
Released by Columbia Pictures on July 14, 1969, Easy Rider grossed $60 million worldwide on a modest filming budget of $400,000. Critics praised the performances, direction, writing, soundtrack and visuals. The film received two Academy Award nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (Jack Nicholson).
In 1998, the film was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry due to its cultural, historical, or aesthetic significance.
Wyatt and Billy are freewheeling bikers. After smuggling cocaine from Mexico to Los Angeles, they sell their loot and receive a large sum of money. With the money in a plastic tube hidden in the gas tank of Wyatt's California motorcycle, they ride east to reach New Orleans, Louisiana, in time for the Mardi Gras festival.
During their trip, Wyatt and Billy stop to fix a flat tire on Wyatt's bike at an Arizona farm and have a meal with the farmer and his family. Later, Wyatt picks up a hippie hitchhiker who invites them to visit his commune, where they stay for the rest of the day. The notion of "free love" appears to be put into practice, with two of the women, Lisa and Sarah, appearing to share affection with the hitchhiking commune member before turning their attention to Wyatt and Billy. As the bikers leave, the hitchhiker gives Wyatt some LSD to share with "the right people."
Later, during a parade in New Mexico, the two men were arrested for "parading without a permit" and thrown in jail. There they befriend lawyer George Hanson, who spent the night in jail after abusing alcohol. After mentioning working for the ACLU, George helps them get out of prison and decides to travel with Wyatt and Billy to New Orleans. While camping that night, Wyatt and Billy introduce George to marijuana. As an alcoholic and a "square", George is reluctant to try marijuana, as he fears he will become "addicted" and that it will lead him to even more dangerous drugs, but he quickly gives in.
Stopping to eat at a small restaurant in Louisiana, the trio attracts the attention of the locals. The girls at the restaurant find them exciting, but the local men and a police officer make denigrating comments and taunts. Wyatt, Billy and George decide to leave without making a fuss. They set up camp outside the city. In the middle of the night, a group of locals attack the sleeping trio, beating them with clubs. Billy screams and brandishes a knife, and the attackers leave. Wyatt and Billy are slightly injured, but George was bludgeoned to death. Wyatt and Billy wrap George's body in his sleeping bag, gather his belongings and vow to return them to his family.
They continue on their way to New Orleans and find a brothel that George had told them about. Taking prostitutes Karen and Mary with them, Wyatt and Billy wander the parade-filled streets during the Mardi Gras celebration. They end up in a cemetery in the French Quarter, where all four ingest the LSD that the hitchhiker gave to Wyatt.
The next morning, when they are passed on a two-lane country road by two local men in an old pickup truck, the passenger in the pickup truck picks up a shotgun, saying it will scare them. As they pass Billy, the passenger shoots and Billy is in an accident. The truck passes Wyatt who has stopped, and Wyatt returns to Billy, finding him lying on the side of the road and covered in blood. Wyatt tells Billy he's going to get help and covers Billy's wound with his own leather jacket. Wyatt then walks down the road towards the pickup which turns around. Driving in the opposite direction, the passenger fires his shotgun again, this time through the driver's side window. Wyatt's unmanned motorcycle flies into the air and breaks apart before landing and bursting into flames.
