Director Jeff Nichols’ The Bikeriders chronicles a tumultuous decade in the life of a fictional Midwestern outlaw motorcycle club called the Vandals, who transform from a band of speed-loving bike enthusiasts into a full-fledged criminal enterprise during the 1960s and ‘70s.
The Vandals are led by Johnny (Tom Hardy), an aging boss who finds an heir apparent in the thrill-seeking but fiercely individualistic Benny (Austin Butler). Benny’s strong-willed girlfriend Kathy (Jodie Comer) eventually wants a different kind of life for her and Benny, putting her at odds with Johnny and testing Benny’s loyalties as the world around the Vandals is consumed by violence.
