The policeman is killed, but the cops are unable to make any charges stick to the rebellious punk. Tough-as-nails gang leader, Johnny, is unfazed by the incident, and manages to keep a protective eye on his friend Dave. Meanwhile, beach parties, drag races and booze all mix for a formula that spells big trouble for Johnny and his band of troublemakers. When Johnny gets ideas about Dave's girlfriend, it results in a furious race down a winding highway on a collision course with tragedy.\u003cp\u003eJack Nicholson's portrayal of Johnny Varron in \u003ci\u003eThe Wild Ride\u003c\/i\u003e (inspired by Marlon Brando's \u003ci\u003eThe Wild One\u003c\/i\u003e) came early in his career, but still showed the kind of presence and power that would eventually make him a superstar. In time, Nicholson would hold the honor as the most Academy Award nominated actor in film history. B-movie producer and director Roger Corman gave Nicholson his first major acting opportunities, releasing such beat generation flicks as \u003ci\u003eThe Wild Ride\u003c\/i\u003e (through his Filmgroup company) and cult classics \u003ci\u003eThe Terror\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLittle Shop Of Horrors\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Raven\u003c\/i\u003e. Co-stars Robert Bean (\u003ci\u003eCreature From The Haunted Sea\u003c\/i\u003e) and Georgianna Carter (\u003ci\u003eNight Of The Blood Beast\u003c\/i\u003e) were also regulars from Corman's repertoire company.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha Video","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":45802289168534,"sku":"089218465092","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/9621\/5446\/files\/089218465092.jpg?v=1762192804","url":"https:\/\/moviezyng.com\/products\/the-wild-ride","provider":"Movie Zyng","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
