L'amore tra una ragazza benestante e uno studente ribelle di Los Angeles che ruba un aereo alla ricerca della libertà. Finale profetico esplosivo in forma di apocalisse capitalistica. La sproporzione tra idee e apparato figurativo, tra esilità della storia e terribilità della conclusione irritò la critica americana, ma l'esilità (la superficialità) non è soltanto della storia: è l'invenzione registica che bisogna mettere in discussione, è la pregnanza figurativa che manca, sostituita da una compiaciuta lussuria fotografica (Alfio Contini). È il film di un provinciale che punta al grandioso. Sam Shepard collaborò alla sceneggiatura. Una buona colonna rock con (fra gli altri) Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead e Rolling Stones.
