The Trip is a 2002 American romantic drama film directed by Miles Swain. It traces the relationship between two men from their initial meeting in 1973 until 1984. A period piece featuring two opposites who fall in love in the middle of the gay rights movement, the film features historical events as a backdrop, from Anita Bryant's attempt to over turn a Florida law providing protection of Gay rights in the 70s, to the AIDS outbreak in the 80s.

The film received mixed reviews from critics, but was praised by Rex Reed and the Los Angeles Times. It went on to win over a dozen film festival awards, including 2 HBO Audience Awards for best film, Best Actor for Steve Braun, and Best Director for Miles Swain.

At the time of filming Swain was a resident at Rudolph Valentino's famous estate Falcon Lair, so he decided to film most of the movie there to save money on production costs. It is the only movie ever shot on the property thanks to the former owners Doris Duke & Valentino.
