Originally released in 1969, Easy Rider is widely regarded as the original "road movie" and, based on the cult following it developed, it was soon copied by other Hollywood studios.

Written by Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda and Terry Southern (Dr Strangelove), Fonda produced the low-budget production whilst Hopper took on directing duties, receiving an award at Cannes for his first work. Since its release, Easy Rider has been regarded as a symbol of free-spirited reaction against society, and even for those too young to remember its original release, it maintains its status as a classic film which characterises the attitude of a decade. Now, after 30 years, Easy Rider has been remastered and is presented here in High Definition with both clearer picture and sound quality.
