Two Lane Blacktop

Two street racers, the Driver (Taylor) and the Mechanic (Wilson) live on the road in their highly modified, primer-gray, 1955 Chevrolet 150 two-door sedan drag car. Along the way, GTO (Oates) picks up various hitchhikers, including an importuning homosexual hitchhiker (Harry Dean Stanton) along the way. An atmosphere of hostility develops between the two parties. The Driver proposes that a cross-country race to Washington, D.C. is suggested.
