TWO-LANE BLACKTOP (1971)

MONTE HELLMAN

Plot

In this controversial and acclaimed story of drag-racing drifters, the drivers of a Pontiac GTO and a '55 Chevy fight an obsessive battle across the back roads of America for possession of each other's 'pinks' and the affections of a mysterious young hitchhiker. Dominating this hypnotic existential journey is Warren Oates as the obsessive ‘GTO', with James Taylor and Dennis Wilson (in their first and only acting roles) his rivals for both car and woman. "Two-Lane Blacktop" is an existentialist 60s road movie cult classic.
