After the death of his father, Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), an aspiring New York writer, meets Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund), a young and dangerously seductive ex-con. They hit it off immediately. Determined not to get trapped in a narrow life, the two friends burn their bridges and hit the road: thirsting for freedom, they discover the world, others and themselves. Also starring Kristen Stewart as Marylou, ON THE ROAD, Walter Salles' long-awaited adaptation of Jack Kerouac's great American novel that defined a generation, will open in cinemas across the UK on 12 October 2012.
