Road movie is considered to be an American film convention typical for ’70. However, their plots are based on an old motive known from legends, myths and parables, from the stories about saving the world. The road movie main character is usually a person in the street, not very beautiful, not very talented and not very interesting. The character is usually introduced while in trouble and because of it must start on a journey during which he or she will become a hero. Sometimes the main character is rich and happy, someone who leads a calm life and because of some very important reason he or she has to leave it and start a journey which will change him and make his past life impossible. Generally, there are 4 kinds of the road movie’s characters: hikers, escapers, travelers and wanderers. In one story there are usually two or more characters, because the most important moment of the plot is a meeting. The meeting of two different people establishes opportunity to get to know their life stories, to confront two different worlds and to change the world-view of main characters.
