This story of two outlaws on motorcycles traveling from Los Angeles to New Orleans proved to be one of the enduring films of the 1960s counterculture. By combining sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll with the Western genre and other icons of Americana, the film tied its hippie heroes, Wyatt and Billy, to the cowboy tradition—and to American identity.

Introduced by Josh Garrett-Davis, Associate Curator of Western History, Popular Culture, and Firearms
Directed by Dennis Hopper | Starring Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Jack Nicholson
Written by Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Terry Southern
