"The Driver" & "The Mecanic" er to bil-nørder som fræser rundt i det sydvestlige USA, på jagt efter andre at køre ræs imod. De møder en ældre herre og sammen beslutter de for at køre et ræs til Washington hvor vinderen får den andens bil! Kultfilm af første klasse! Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
With the melancholy open-road epic Two-Lane Blacktop, American auteur Monte Hellman (The Shooting, Cockfighter, and the recent Road to Nowhere) poeticised the beautiful, terrible rootlessness of his nation in the era of Vietnam. Funded by Universal in a bid to recreate the success of Easy Rider by giving a number of filmmakers $1m and final cut Hellman's effort is now regarded as one of the key films of the New Hollywood renaissance of the early 1970s.
While driving eastward on Route 66, two rival car owners The Driver (singer-songwriter James Taylor) and The Mechanic (Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys) in a souped-up, drag-racing '55 Chevy, and a middle-aged braggart (Warren Oates) in a gleaming GTO begin to race for each other's "pink slips" and the affections of the listless female hitchhiker (Laurie Bird) who joins them on the road.
Scripted by esteemed novelist Rudy Wurlitzer, and featuring the only screen performances of Taylor and Wilson, Two-Lane Blacktop remains a timeless, existential portrait of lives in transit and of a country questioning its identity.
Two-Lane Blacktop is one of the most popular car-fetishist / petrolhead movies ever made and listed as one of the 50 greatest independent films of all time by Empire Magazine. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Hellman's iconic film on blu-ray for the first time ever anywhere in the world on its 40th birthday, released on 23 January 2012.
