Two-Lane Blacktop (1971)
Four nameless people - the driver, G.T.O., the girl and the mechanic in a race against time and each other. The ultimate bet is made-a cross-country duel from the far west to Washington DC. The prize, the loser's treasured car. Hellman's original and exciting movie springs from the world of easy riders where racers travel the paved roads of the American countryside between midnight and dawn - with love and death as their companions.
