Written and directed by Jeff Nichols (“Mud,” “Take Shelter”), “The Bikeriders” boasts a power-house ensemble cast including Emmy®, BAFTA®, and Tony Award® winner Jodie Comer (“Killing Eve,” “The Last Duel”) alongside Academy Award® nominee Austin Butler (“Elvis,” “Dune: Part Two”) and Academy Award® nominee Tom Hardy (“The Revenant,” “Dunkirk,” “Inception”).

“The Bikeriders” captures a rebellious time in America when the culture and people were changing. After a chance encounter at a local bar, strong-willed Kathy (Comer) is inextricably drawn to Benny (Butler), the newest member of the Midwestern motorcycle club, the Vandals, led by the enigmatic Johnny (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.
