Description of this Easy Rider Movie Poster
Easy Rider is a 1969 American feature film, a cult classic and a road movie that depicts the biker lifestyle of the late 1960s. On May 8, 1969, Easy Rider was the official United States contribution to the Cannes Film Festival. The film premiered on July 14, 1969, in the United States, and was released in theaters in the Federal Republic of Germany on December 19, 1969.
After purchasing cocaine and smuggling it from Mexico to the United States in the batteries of their Scrambler motorcycles, Wyatt and Billy sell the drugs to a liaison officer. Wyatt hides the dollar bills rolled up in a tube in the fuel tank of his newly purchased scooter, which is painted with the American flag. With their converted 1950s Harley-Davidson motorcycles, the two men travel to Arizona. That evening, they are refused entry by a motel owner and are forced to camp around a campfire.
They continue east to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras carnival. Wyatt picks up a hitchhiking hippie, whom Billy fears will discover money in the tank while filling up. Instead, the stranger fills up for free, and the trip takes them to a hippie commune, with a trip to an idyllic hot springs bath.
Leaving the hippie commune, they stumble upon a parade, which they follow. As a result, they are arrested by the police along the way for “unauthorized participation in a parade” and thrown in jail. There, George Hanson, a young, alcoholic lawyer, is sleeping off his wine. Thanks to his connections, Hanson manages to get them out of jail, after which they take him with them.
Continuing their journey, Wyatt, Billy, and Hanson arrive in a rural Louisiana town where they plan to eat at a restaurant. The local girls flirt with the trio. But the male residents and even the sheriff vilify them, implying that they won’t reach the town line. So they leave the inn without being served and camp in the wilderness. While sleeping in sleeping bags, they are attacked by villagers who beat them with baseball bats. George Hanson is killed instantly. The next morning, Wyatt and Billy, slightly injured, go to New Orleans to a brothel recommended by Hanson. There, Wyatt has a premonition of death in the face of a witty remark, during which the final scene of the film, the violent deaths of the two Easy Riders, is already projected. They take two prostitutes to a cemetery, where taking LSD leads to a psychedelic trip. On the way back, a resigned Wyatt declares around a campfire that they are “illegals,” which arouses Billy’s incomprehension. The next day, they continue driving along a country road and are overtaken by two rednecks in a pickup truck. The passenger verbally provokes Billy and threatens him with a shotgun. When Billy reacts by sticking out his middle finger, the passenger demands that the “long-haired hippie” get a haircut and then shoots him. Billy collapses, hit. Wyatt brakes and comes back to Billy. He covers him with his leather jacket and goes to get help. Meanwhile, the pickup truck has turned around and is heading towards Wyatt. It too is shot at, the motorcycle falls and then explodes on the side of the road. The camera turns away and pans up to the sky.
