Event Information
After a chance encounter at a local bar, strong-willed Kathy (Jodie Comer) is inextricably drawn to Benny (Austin Butler), the newest member of Midwestern motorcycle club the Vandals, led by the enigmatic Johnny (Tom Hardy). Much like the country around it, the club begins to evolve, transforming from a gathering place for local outsiders into a dangerous underworld of violence, forcing Benny to choose between Kathy and his loyalty to the club.
The Bikeriders is named after Danny Lyon's photo book of the same title, which filmmaker Jeff Nichols read for the first time in 2003. The story's Vandals MC is inspired by the book's detailing of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club. Its plot depicts the lives of the Vandals Motorcycle Club, a fictional version of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club.
The film is written and directed by Jeff Nichols, and starring Jodie Comer, Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, Michael Shannon, Mike Faist, Boyd Holbrook, Damon Herriman, Beau Knapp, Emory Cohen, Karl Glusman, Toby Wallace, and Norman Reedus. It captures a rebellious time in America when the culture and people were changing.
