Every period of American history and culture has at least one quintessential movie that represents everything about that specific zeitgeist. For the end of the 1960s, it’s difficult to find a more significant picture than Dennis Hopper’sEasy Rider, an unusual biker film about two freedom-loving guys and their trip from California to Florida.
Once called The Loners, Dennis Hopper co-wrote, directed, and starred in the Oscar-nominated biker flick. The file also featured Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson, with Fonda co-writing the script with Terry Southern and Hopper, with Fondaalso producing.
