Synopsis

After his father dies, aspiring writer Sal Paradise meets Dean Moriarty, a charming ex-con married to the liberated and seductive Marylou. Sal and Dean bond instantly, and the three take to the road. Travelling across the country, they encounter a mix of people who impact their journey indelibly.

MUBI's take

After decades in development hell, the era-defining Beat novel by Jack Kerouac made it to the screen as a hot premiere from director Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries), with an all-star cast (including Kristen Stewart and Kirsten Dunst!) passionately tearing into Kerouac’s soaring prose.
