On the Road

“"The best teacher is experience."”

Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), a young writer, is thrown off course when Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund) turns up with his girl Marylou (Kristen Stewart). Soon the three are heading across the country, Walter Salles following them from one town to the next. What Sal and Dean are chasing is "it," the pure essence of experience, and a way out of the conformity pressing in on them.
