Drag racing east from L.A. in a souped-up '55 Chevy are the wayward Driver (Taylor) and Mechanic (Wilson), accompanied by a tagalong Girl (Bird). Along the way, they meet Oates's Pontiac GTO-driving wanderer and challenge him to a cross-country race - the prize: their cars' pink slips. Yet no summary can do justice to the existential punch of Two-Lane Blacktop. Maverick director Monte Hellman's stripped-down narrative, gorgeous widescreen compositions and sophisticated look at American male obsession make this one of the artistic high points of 1970's cinema, and possibly the greatest road movie ever made.
