Easy Rider: Opening Scene

A famous opening scene from Easy Rider - a 1969 American independent road drama film directed by Dennis Hopper, a landmark "counterculture movie" and a "touchstone for a generation". It tells the story of two bikers who travel through the American Southwest and South, but at the sam time explores the issues, and tensions in the United States during the 1960s, such as the rise of the hyppie movement, drug use and communal lifestyle.

Here you can listen to a classic song "Born to Be Wild" by the band Steppenwolf. The movie's groundbreaking soundtrack includes also The Band, The Byrds and The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
