When the low-budget biker movie
Easy Rider
shocked Hollywood with its success in 1969, a new Hollywood era was born. This was an age when talented young filmmakers such as Scorsese, Coppola, and Spielberg, along with a new breed of actors, including De Niro, Pacino, and Nicholson, became the powerful figures who would make such modern classics as
The Godfather, Chinatown, Taxi Driver,
and
Jaws. Easy Riders, Raging Bulls
follows the wild ride that was Hollywood in the '70s an unabashed celebration of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll (both onscreen and off) and a climate where innovation and experimentation reigned supreme. Based on hundreds of interviews with the directors themselves, producers, stars, agents, writers, studio executives, spouses, and ex-spouses, this is the full, candid story of Hollywood's last golden age.
MARTIN SCORSESE ON DRUGS:
"I did a lot of drugs because I wanted to do a lot, I wanted to push all the way to the very very end, and see if I could die."
DENNIS HOPPER ON
EASY RIDER:
"The cocaine problem in the United States is really because of me. There was no cocaine before
on the street. After
Easy Rider,
it was everywhere."
GEORGE LUCAS ON
STAR WARS:
"Popcorn pictures have always ruled. Why do people go see them? Why is the public so stupid? That's not my fault."
