At a time of chronic civil unrest in late 1960s America, a young revolutionary suspected of murder steals a plane and meets a girl.

An epic portrait of late-1960s America as seen through the portrayal of two of its children: anthropology student Daria who's helping a property developer build a village in the Los Angeles desert, and dropout Mark who's wanted by the authorities for allegedly killing a policeman during a student riot.—Michael Brooke <[email protected]>

In what is supposed to be an indictment of 1960's American society, two aimless young adults try to find themselves in the California desert. Mark is a college student who spends most of his time attending protest rallies. He's also taken to carrying a gun which gets him into big trouble when he is incorrectly identified as the shooter in a cop killing. To get out of town, he steals a small single-engine airplane. Daria works for a property owner planning a new development, but she heads into the desert to find a quiet place to meditate. When Mark and Daria meet, they have sex, travel a bit together, and otherwise spend their time idly wondering about life in general.—garykmcd

At a time of chronic civil unrest in late 1960s America, two perfect strangers cross paths. During a violent students' revolt, Mark, an idealist armed with a gun, finds himself on the run from the police, bound for the scorching Death Valley in California. In the meantime, free-spirited anthropology student Daria is driving across the vast desert's empty stretch of highway in her slate-grey 1952 Buick Special. And before long, the two rebellious youngsters have a chance encounter. As the pair of passionate romantics sweep each other off their feet and start an unrestrained romance in a flawed world, their flawless bodies intertwine, making love on Zabriskie Point's eroded, dusty terrain.—Nick Riganas
