Description

*Easy Rider* (1969) is a counterculture classic that redefined American cinema. Directed by and starring Dennis Hopper, alongside Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson, this legendary road movie follows two bikers, Billy and Wyatt, who smuggle cocaine across the Mexican border and embark on a freewheeling journey to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Along the way, they encounter the beauty and hypocrisy of America, facing hostility, camaraderie, and existential musings on freedom. With its iconic soundtrack and groundbreaking cinematography, *Easy Rider* remains a landmark in independent filmmaking.

This Criterion Collection edition presents the film in a high-definition restored Blu-ray format, preserving its raw, rebellious energy for a new generation.
