Sal Paradise is a young writer whose life is shaken and ultimately redefined by the arrival of Dean Moriarty, a free-spirited, fearless, fast talking Westerner and his girl, Marylou. Traveling cross-country, Sal and Dean venture out on a personal quest for freedom from the conformity and conservatism engulfing them in search of the unknown, themselves, and the pursuit of “it” -- the pure essence of experience.
A restless writer finds his stifling existence upended by a chaotic, fast-talking nomad. Their cross-country odyssey captures a desperate, sun-drenched search for meaning amidst the roar of highway engines.
