Advantages: Superb film to warm to the characters involved

Disadvantages: Would not appeal to 'action' fans!

Have you ever wanted to cruise the highway, through a never ending landscape, with no sense of time? To feel the wide open road hug you to it's breast and the wind torrent, like a bursting river through your hair? If so, you'll warm instantly to the characters in this classic film. From the cool and sublimely relaxed Peter Fonda to the understated unbalance of a flying Dennis Hopper. Add to that partnership a devilishly engaging performance from a young Jack Nicholson and you have a group of people that you cannot possibly dislike.

In essence the film is about free spirits, and their position within a world of closed minds. When the two clash the results are too painful to watch. It may not appeal to those who like plenty of explosions and 'action', but if you prefer to step into the warmth of a film and feel touched by the characters, you will enjoy this film.

The re-mastered film on DVD is a treat. Clarity of picture and sound make the film sing, defying it's advanced years. 'Born To Be Wild' and 'The Pusher' still sound fresh and relevant, as they roar out of the speakers. The characters innocent need for freedom may well touch many peoples hearts in todays, ever faster, ever spinning world.
