Two-Lane Blacktop is a haunting, minimalist road movie that defined an era of American cinema. Directed by Monte Hellman, this 1971 cult classic follows two enigmatic street racers as they drive across the American Southwest in a souped-up '55 Chevy, engaging in a quiet yet intense showdown with a boastful driver in a GTO. With its existential themes, stripped-down dialogue, and stark visual aesthetic, Two-Lane Blacktop stands as one of the most unique films of the 1970s. Don’t miss your chance to see this rare screening in the Hamptons.

This screening will be preceded by the 15-minute short film Glory Days at Bridgehampton: The Thrilling History of Car Racing in the Hamptons, which is narrated by Richard Kind. Producer Peter Klebnikov, a former race driver, flagger, and Secretary of the Bridgehampton Racing Heritage Group, will introduce the evening.
