An unabashed celebration of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll (onscreen and off), 'Easy Rider' heralded a heady decade in which a rebellious wave of talented young filmmakers invigorated the movie industry. In 'Easy Riders, Raging Bulls,' Peter Biskind takes us on the wild ride that was Hollywood in the '70s, an era that produced such modern classics as 'The Godfather, Chinatown, Shampoo, Nashville, Taxi Driver,' and 'Jaws.'
