"Easy Riders, Raging Bulls: How the Sex-Drugs-And Rock 'N Roll Generation Saved Hollywood" is a book written by Peter Biskind and published by Simon and Schuster in 1998. "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls" is about the 1970s Hollywood, a stand-alone period of American film which brought about films such as "The Godfather", "", "Taxi Driver", "Jaws", "Star Wars", "The Exorcist" and "The Last Picture Show". It follows Hollywood on the brink of the Vietnam War with a group of Hollywood film directors known as the "movie brats", beginning in the 1960s and ending in the 1980s.
