The Bikeriders is a fictional story written and directed by Jeff Nichols, the filmmaker behind titles such as Mud and Take Shelter. It is inspired by the photography of Danny Lyon and his 1967 book The Bikeriders.
The film captures a rebellious time in America, when the culture and the people are changing. After a chance meeting at a local bar, the headstrong Kathy (Comer) finds herself inextricably drawn to Benny (Butler), the newest member of the Midwestern motorcycle gang The Vandals, led by the enigmatic Johnny (Hardy). Like the country around it, the club begins to evolve from a hangout for local outsiders to a dangerous underworld of violence, forcing Benny to choose between Kathy and his loyalty to the club.
Other cast members include two-time Academy Award nominee Michael Shannon (George & Tammy), Boyd Holbrook (Logan), Mike Faist (Challengers) and Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead).
