1987. Denver, Co. One crazy night in the life of four friends reeling from the sudden demise of iconic British band The Smiths, while the local airwaves are hijacked at gunpoint by an impassioned Smiths fan.
“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“).
David Burke (Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer whose clientele includes chefs and soccer moms, but no kids—after all, he has his scruples. So what could go wrong? Plenty. Preferring to keep a low profile for obvious reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished when he tries to help out some local teens and winds up getting jumped by a trio of gutter punks. Stealing his stash and his cash, they leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms).
In order to wipe the slate clean—and maintain a clean bill of health—David must now become a big-time drug smuggler by bringing Brad’s latest shipment in from Mexico. Twisting the arms of his neighbors, cynical stripper Rose (Aniston) and wannabe customer Kenny (Will Poulter), and the tatted-and-pierced streetwise teen Casey (Emma Roberts), he devises a foolproof plan. One fake wife, two pretend kids and a huge, shiny RV later, the “Millers” are headed south of the border for a Fourth of July weekend that is sure to end with a bang.
From New Line Cinema comes the action comedy “We’re The Millers,” starring Jennifer Aniston (“Horrible Bosses”) and Jason Sudeikis (“The Campaign”). The film is directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (“Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story”).
