Easy Rider Blu-ray

'Easy Rider' Director: Dennis Hopper (1969) Written by Peter Fonda | Criterion Collection Blu-ray | High-definition transfer supervised by cinematographer László Kovács

Sixties zeitgeist cinema.

The definitive counterculture blockbuster. The down-and-dirty directorial debut of former clean-cut teen star Dennis Hopper, 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, and explosive ending—the American road trip would never be the same.
