The Trip

Paul (Peter Fonda, Easy Rider) is a TV commercial director whose wife, Sally (Susan Strasberg, Psych-Out), has left him. Plunged into a personality crisis, he asks his friend John (Bruce Dern, Silent Running), a self-styled guru and advocate of LSD, to guide him on his first 'trip'. They go to a party at their friend Max's (Dennis Hopper, Easy Rider), score some acid and return to John's to let the drug take its course. There, Paul is plunged into a mind-altering realm of extreme beauty and sheer terror, the like of which he has never known before.Written by acclaimed actor Jack Nicholson (The Shining) and directed by legendary producer Roger Corman (Masque of the Red Death), this seminal slice of cinematic psychedelia was banned for an astonishing 36 years, but is now available on Blu-ray for the very first time.High Definition transferThe Guardian Interview with Roger Corman (1981, audio only): on-stage interview with the great director/producerThe Guardian Interview with Roger Corman (1991, audio only): Corman returns to the NFT to discuss his career in film-makingOriginal theatrical trailerOther extras TBCCast and Crew:Stars: Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopperm Susan Strasberg, Bruce DernDirector: Roger Corman
