What else to know about The Bikeriders
The Bikeriders is inspired by a book of photographs by Danny Lyon, with Nichols also writing the fictionalized script in addition to directing. Here is the official synopsis for the movie:
"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 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."
In addition to Butler, Comer and Hardy, the movie stars Michael Shannon, Mike Faist, Boyd Holbrook, Norman Reedus, Damon Heriman, Beau Knapp, Emory Cohen, Karl Glusman and Toby Wallace.
