Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Easy Rider is a 1969 film directed and co-written by Dennis Hopper. It starred Hopper, co-writer and producer Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson in his first Academy Award-nominated role. Since its release, it's been identified as THE Sixties counterculture film. It was also co-produced by the same guys responsible for The Monkees and Head.It follows the tale of two dope-dealing bikers, Wyatt aka "Captain America" (Fonda) and Billy (Hopper), who decide to take their bikes across the country. They have no aim other than going to Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and pure freedom, which is not appreciated by the locals they encounter. Only one man, liberal lawyer George Hanson (Nicholson), shares their sense of freedom. As they ride along, they wonder what ever happened to America.

Badass Biker: Averted. The bikers are harmless hippies who just want to find the American dream. It's the Good Ol Boys who are the ruffians.

Cool Bike: Possibly the best-known film motorcycle, Wyatt's "Captain America" chopper. Both this and Billy's more conservative chopper started life as Harley Davidson Hydra Glides.

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Hippy bikers count as bad boys in The Deep South. Billy, Wyatt and George go into a diner. The local men sitting around one table are openly hostile, but the teenage girls sitting around another table think them to be rather dreamy.

All Bikers Are Hell's Angels: Averted. The two main characters are chopper-riding hippies who travel into the Deep South and run tragically afoul of violent Good Ol Boys.
