(film) A film in which much of the action takes place during a journey, especially one involving overland travel.

For Timothy Corrigan, the road movie is ‘traditionally focused, almost exclusively, on men and the absence of women’ (1991: 143). David Laderman elucidates: Most road movies … retain a traditional sexist hierarchy that privileges the white heterosexual male, in terms of narrative and point of view. As in typical Hollywood films, the road movie tends to define the active impulse (here, to drive) relegating women characters to passive passengers and/or erotic destinations. (2002: 20)
