The film follows the journey of two bikers, Wyatt (played by Peter Fonda), nicknamed "Captain America," and Billy (played by Dennis Hopper), as they travel across the American Southwest and South in search of freedom, meaning, and the "real" America. Along the way, they encounter various individuals and communities, including hippies, ranchers, and other travelers, each offering their own perspective on life and society.
