“Freedom belongs to the fearless,” is the catchphrase of Jeff Nichols’s new film, The Bikeriders.
The film follows Benny (Austin Butler), Kathy (Jodie Comer), Johnny (Tom Hardy), and their midwestern motorcycle club, The Vandals. Viewers see the club’s transition over the years from a tight-knit community of local outsiders into a menacing gang when the original members feel like their lives are threatened. The picture is based on the true events of Danny Lyon, who was a member of the Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle Club between 1963 and 1967. Lyon published a photo collection of his time in the club, which inspired Nichols to write this film.
This is looking good and solid, the casting is rightly picked too

From the trailer, you can gather that Johnny formed the club in 1965 Chicago and named it The Vandals. It grew quickly, and Benny became Johnny’s right-hand man, while the club spent their days riding around town and gathering in their favorite bar. Years passed and the club kept growing, but the members that joined weren’t like the originals, they were uncontrollable and violent. This was a problem for Johnny and Benny—a problem they’d solve by any means necessary.
Let’s ride.
