In this hysterical satire of Reagan-era vaIues, written and directed by Albert Brooks, a successful Los AngeIes advertising executive (Brooks) and his wife (Julie Hagerty) decide to quit their jobs, buy a Winnebago, and follow their 'Easy Rider' fantasies of freedom and the open road. When a stop in Las Vegas nearIy deraiIs their plans, they're forced to come to terms with their own limitations and those of the American dream. Brooks's barbed wit and confident direction drive 'Lost in America', an iconic example of his restIess movies about insecure characters searching for satisfaction in the modern worId that estabIished his unique comic voice and transformed the art of observationaI humor.
