Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Walter Salles and based on the iconic novel by Jack Kerouac, ON THE ROAD tells the timeless story of Sal Paradise , a young writer whose life is shaken and ultimately redefined by the arrival of Dean Moriarty , a free-spirited, fearless, fast-talking Westerner and his girl, Marylou .

Featuring an all-star cast that includes Viggo Mortensen , Kirsten Dunst , Tom Sturridge , Academy Award Nominee Amy Adams , Alice Braga , and Elisabeth Moss , ON THE ROAD is a landmark odyssey from America s legendary Beat writer brought to vivid life by one of the most talented filmmakers of modern times.
