Zavvi - The Home of Pop Culture

This is the definitive counterculture blockbuster. The down-and-dirty directorial debut of former clean-cut teen star DENNIS HOPPER (Blue Velvet), Easy Rider heralded the arrival of a new voice in film, one pitched angrily against the mainstream. After the film’s cross-country journey with its radical, New Wave–style editing, outsider-rock soundtrack, revelatory performance by a young JACK NICHOLSON (Five Easy Pieces), and explosive ending the American road trip would never be the same.
