Easy Rider is a 1969 American film, whose director Dennis Hopper and stars Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson in the lead roles. The film was winner ofmany awards in his time.
In his 94-minute odyssey we see two young men embark on a motorcycle trip acrossall United States to attend a carnival, but presumably are employed as drug smugglers, and during your trip will get to know all kinds of characters that reflectAmerican culture in the 70′s.
It goes without saying that the film marked a before and after the American film industry, and that became a benchmark for a whole generation of bikers. The unexpected success caused them to be one of the highest grossing films of those years, earning 100 times their initial cost.
It was also vital that the classic rock of that time as Byrds, Steppenwolf, The Band,Jimi Hendrix cede the rights of the songs were the soundtrack of the film, virtuallyunique in the history of rock. And with that crowned the libertarian, counterculturalstyle that succeeded in making this film, a myth, a journey to freedom.
