Directed by Bob Rafelson and starring Jack Nicholson, the film follows a former piano prodigy working in manual labor who returns to his upper-class family after years away. The narrative centers on personal identity, class background, and disconnection from both past and present. The film is associated with the American New Hollywood movement of the 1970s.

Following Jack Nicholsons breakout supporting turn in Easy Rider, director Bob Rafelson devised a powerful leading role for the new star in the searing character study Five Easy Pieces. Nicholson plays the now iconic cad Bobby Dupea, a shiftless thirtysomething oil rigger and former piano prodigy immune to any sense of responsibility, who returns to his upper-middle-class childhood home, blue-collar girlfriend (Karen Black, in an Oscar-nominated role) in tow, to see his estranged, ailing father. Moving in its simplicity and gritty in its textures, Five Easy Pieces is a lasting example of early 1970s American alienation.

Robert Dupea spends his days doing various odd jobs, drinking and womanizing until an encounter with his sister makes him revisit his past.
