Two members of the Hell's Angels' Boston chapter ride out to the Southwest Desert and plot a robbery of a Las Vegas casino in this nihilistic movie.
The credits thank the Hell's Angels, who are not portrayed in any complimentary fashion. They're first seen terrorizing a driver in a convertible. Was this the image they wanted for themselves?
Paul Lohmann's first movie as DP is a stunning example of Technicolor at its best; the sharp colors and late-afternoon lighting of the outdoor scenes (and of night-time Las Vegas) give the impression that they are the modern equivalent of Tennyson's Lotos-eaters, drinking beer and riding their Harleys into the sunset.
