With his customary wit and intelligence, Rich takes us through films such as Bonnie and Clyde, The Grapes of Wrath, Thelma and Louise, Vanishing Point, Five Easy Pieces and even The Wizard of Oz. He explores what makes a road movie and how the American social, economic and political landscape has defined the genre. Filmed on location in South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana, the film incorporates interviews, archive footage and clips of some of cinemas best-loved films as it gives us another of Rich Hall's unique insights into American culture. With his series of essays on American culture, comedian and QI regular Rich Hall is setting himself up as an impassioned commentator on the state of his homeland. But as reasoned as his arguments may be, he also enjoys nothing more than a good ol’ comic rant. So for this treatise on the romance of the road movie he takes apart the beat poets, delivers a hilarious diatribe against Jeremy Clarkson, and rounds it all off with a sublime Star Wars as highway-diner cheesecake metaphor. The spacious vistas so beloved of road-movie directors give the film a sumptuous, widescreen feel. The comedian presents a history of the American road movie. He travels through South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana to explore how the country's culture has both shaped and been shaped by the genre, and analyses films including Bonnie and Clyde, The Grapes of Wrath, Thelma & Louise, Vanishing Point, Five Easy Pieces and The Wizard of Oz.
