Easy Rider, directed by Dennis Hopper and released in 1969, is far more than a cult movie — it’s an icon of American counterculture. Starring Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and a young Jack Nicholson, the film follows two bikers riding across the U.S. in search of freedom and meaning.

A true reflection of late-1960s America, Easy Rider explores alienation, lost ideals and social paranoia. Its legendary rock soundtrack — featuring Steppenwolf, The Byrds and Jimi Hendrix — and raw cinematography made it the anthem of a generation.

Celebrated at the Cannes Film Festival, the movie stands as a cornerstone of New Hollywood — a road-movie where asphalt, rebellion and freedom merge into visual poetry. Easy Rider remains one of the most striking portraits of the American dream gone wrong.
