“On the Road” is the book by Jack Kerouac brought to cinemas.
Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund) and Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), main Kerouac’s characters, are the typical representatives of the Beat Generation. After the death of his father, Sal Paradise falls into the search of the answers to the question “How to live?”. One of the answers he finds is to write. But while the muse is somewhere over the corner, he spends his time hanging out with his friends in jazz bars. Soon he meets Garrett Hedlund’s (“Tron: Legacy”, “Troy”) character Dean, a real child of bohemia. Together they aim for everything and take every chance they get. Soon after they find themselves on the road – an endless party filled with alcohol, drugs and conflict within meaning and meaningless. Bohemian journey is supplemented by female touch - Kristen Stewart („Twillight“, Snowhite and Huntsman“), Kirsten Dunst („Melancholia“, „SpiderMan“), Amy Adams („Enchanted“, „Catch me if you can“), Elisabeth Moss („Mad Men“) ir Alice Brag („I am Legend“, „City of Gods“).
