Then Came Bronson (TV Movie)

A Harley Roadster, a bedroll, a lonely stretch of highway: Jim Bronson (Michael Parks) is traveling where the road and the day take him, trying to make sense of things after the suicide of his close friend.

He doesn’t go far along a magnificent stretch of California’s coastal Big Sur before he meets Temple Brooks (Bonnie Bedelia), a runway bride just as adrift as Jim is. Together, they’ll ride that Harley all the way to New Orleans. Together, they might find what they’re looking for.

The pilot film for the same-titled 26-episode TV series, Then Came Bronson–seen here in an international version that has footage not seen in U.S. telecasts–came along in the free-wheeling era of Easy Rider. Hop on.
