  Road movie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In general, road movies are a cinematic genre in which the action takes places during a road journey.
Although the modern road movie inevitably takes place on the road, the genre has its roots in earlier tales of epic journeys, such as Homer's Odyssey and Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.
The Road movies are also a series of seven classic comedy motion pictures starring Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour.

 hackwriters.com - The Road Movie - An Introduction by Sam North - Part One
The road movie reflects a cultural psychosis that not only is tomorrow another day, but the road is the passage to which a new beginning is possible, free from the bonds of the past.
The road seems to offer an easy escape, set within a western landscape that is at once beautiful, but, as is the nature of the convention of a road movie, all manners of dangers may lurk.
The road became a signifier for freedom and the romance of the 'road' became a way of life that would be celebrated in literature and film for the entire twentieth century.

 'Indien' - An Austrian Road Movie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The journey serves as a link between the road and the vehicle and becomes the central motif of the road movie: it gains a symbolic character similar to that which is ascribed to the frontier in the western.
Journeys in road movies are not only mere transportations of the protagonists from A to B so that they can carry on acting there, but the journey as a process takes on a meaning of its own.
In the road movie as well as in the western this struggle for personal freedom is marked by violence, but not only conflicts between the hero and those who try to restrain his freedom are solved by physical force.
