Based on the Jack Kerouac novel of the same name, with Twilight’s Kristen Stewart thrown in for good measure, On The Road received a one week Oscar qualifying run in 2012.
Dean Moriarty (Garret Hedlund) and Salvatore Paradise (Sam Riley) are the portrait of the Beat Generation living in the here and now during the Fifties. Their search for “It” results in a fast paced, energetic roller coaster ride with highs and lows throughout the U.S.
The movie On The Road is the Walter Salles (director of the 1999 Best Foreign language Oscar nominee Central Station) big screen adaption of the Jack Kerouc novel of the same name.
