A man went in search of America. And he could not find it anywhere.

Billy and Wyatt are two young motorcyclists who set off on a journey through the American Southwest and South. Their destination is the Mardi Gras carnival in New Orleans. To fund the trip, they deal cocaine on the Mexican border. On their motorcycles, they ride along highways and through towns across the country, and at every stop they come into contact with different faces of American society. Dennis Hopper directs the film and also plays Billy, while Peter Fonda brings Wyatt to life.

Trivia about Easy Rider

One of the cuts Hopper proposed ran 220 minutes and was inspired by 2001: 2001: A Space Odyssey, with numerous time jumps into the future.

The film was financed with money from The Monkees, and Phil Spector appears in the opening scenes, although neither the group nor he contributed any music.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were going to compose the entire soundtrack, but Hopper removed them from the project behind Fonda's back.

Dylan wrote only the first verse of "Ballad of Easy Rider" and handed it to McGuinn, who completed the song for the movie.

During the shooting tests in New Orleans, cinematographer Barry Feinstein threw film canisters at Hopper, and the two ended up in a physical fight.

Hopper shot almost everything outdoors in natural light, and justified the decision by saying that "God is a great electrician."

In its fourteenth week in theaters, it was the highest-grossing movie in the United States, and it held the No. 1 spot for three weeks.

Rip Torn was originally cast as George Hanson, but left the film after an argument with Dennis Hopper; years later, Torn gave a different account of that clash and sued Hopper for defamation.

Quotes by Easy Rider

No, I mean it. You've got a nice place. It's not every man that can live off the land, you know. You do your own thing in your own time. You should be proud.
I never really thought of myself as a freak, ya know...but I Love to Freak!
You can get out of here, if you haven't killed anybody - at least nobody white.
It doesn't make any difference what city. All cities are alike. That's why I'm out here now...cause I'm from the city, a long way from the city - and that's where I want to be right now.
Rancher: Turn that thing off. You're making my horse skittish. ... Sure is a good-looking machine.
[reading inscription] "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him."
