Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Two-Lane Blacktop is an offbeat 1971 Road Trip Plot film directed by Monte Hellman. It features an unusual cast: James Taylor, Dennis Wilson, Warren Oates, and first-time actress Laurie Bird.The sparse plot concerns two unnamed street racers in a 1955 Chevy 150, played by Taylor and Wilson, who get challenged to a cross-country race from New Mexico to Washington, D.C. by a mysterious and blustery stranger in a Pontiac GTO (played by Oates). Along the way, the racers pick up a young female hitchhiker (played by Bird), who enters into brief romances with all three men.The film, which achieved Cult Classic status and is often cited as a product of the New Hollywood movement, is remembered for its minimalist and existential presentation as well as its portrayal of classic Route 66 car culture. | |

Cool Car: The street racers drive a mean-looking, primer-grey 1955 Chevy 150. GTO, of course, drives a cherry yellow 1970 Pontiac GTO. | |

Nameless Narrative: As indicated on the poster, none of the characters' names are given. In the credits the four leads are listed as the Driver, the Mechanic, GTO and the Girl. | |

Multiple-Choice Past | |
| Two-Lane Blacktop / int_a426ae28 | comment |
Multiple-Choice Past: An early example: the stranger in the GTO gives a number of conflicting back-stories for himself. It's clear that they're all lies, because at the end he claims to have won his GTO by driving a Chevy 150, the car the other pair were driving. | |

No Ending | |
| Two-Lane Blacktop / int_ea2e9f2d | comment |
No Ending: The race simply evaporates toward the end of the film. Neither party is shown reaching Washington DC. The stranger is last seen lying about his past again and the street racers enter an unrelated drag race. In the end, the film stock simply burns away. | |
