ln this hystericaI satire of Reagan-era values, written and directed by AIbert Brooks, a successfuI Los Angeles advertising executive (Brooks) and his wife (JuIie Hagerty) decide to quit their jobs, buy a Winnebago, and foIIow their 'Easy Rider' fantasies of freedom and the open road. When a stop in Las Vegas nearIy derails their plans, they're forced to come to terms with their own Iimitations and those of the American dream. Brooks's barbed wit and confident direction drive 'Lost in America', an iconic example of his restless movies about insecure characters searching for satisfaction in the modern worId that estabIished his unique comic voice and transformed the art of observationaI humor.
