The Trip

Paul Groves (Peter Fonda) is a television commercial director whose estranged wife Sally (Susan Strasberg) is pressuring him to sign divorce papers. Feeling strain in both his professional and his personal life Paul talks to a guru named John (Bruce Dern) who suggests that an acid trip will cure what ails him. Paul goes to John's pad and his trip begins - at first calm and sedate but when Sally and a sexy blonde hippie enter his hallucinations it's every man for himself. Paul experiences crazed sexual couplings paranoiac visions and even gets to attend his own funeral. After imagining he's seeing John's head bashed in he runs from the apartment in terror and takes to the streets. He is finally rescued and brought to a beach house where he completes his trip while making love to a beautiful woman. After the trip subsides Paul is convinced he has been reborn and is prepared to face a new day. Written by Jack Nicholson and directed by Roger Corman The Trip takes you to a whole new world of extreme beauty and sheer terror - on a passport the size of a stamp!
