In this hystericaI satire of Reagan-era vaIues, written and directed by Albert Brooks, a successfuI Los AngeIes advertising executive (Brooks) and his wife (JuIie Hagerty) decide to quit their jobs, buy a Winnebago, and folIow 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 Iimitations and those of the American dream. Brooks's barbed wit and confident direction drive 'Lost in America', an iconic exampIe of his restIess movies about insecure characters searching for satisfaction in the modern world that estabIished his unique comic voice and transformed the art of observational humor.
