Synopsis
Drag racing east from Los Angeles in a souped-up 55 Chevy are the wayward Driver and Mechanic (singer-songwriter James Taylor and the Beach Boys Dennis Wilson, in their only acting roles), accompanied by a tagalong Girl (Laurie Bird). Along the way, they meet Warren Oatess Pontiac GTOdriving wanderer and challenge him to a cross-country race. The prize: their cars pink slips. But no summary can do justice to the existential punch of Two-Lane Blacktop. With its gorgeous widescreen compositions and sophisticated look at American male obsession, this stripped-down narrative from maverick director Monte Hellman is one of the artistic high points of 1970s cinema, and possibly the greatest road movie ever made.
