The Bikeriders (2023)

After a chance encounter, headstrong Kathy is drawn to Benny, a member of Midwestern motorcycle club the Vandals. As the club transforms into a dangerous underworld of violence, Benny must choose between Kathy and his loyalty to what has become a gang.

Oscar nominees Austin Butler and Tom Hardy play Benny and Johnny, with Emmy winner Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) as Kathy. Also look out for Oscar nominee Michael Shannon (Nocturnal Animals, Take Shelter), and BAFTA nominees Mike Faist (Challengers, West Side Story) and Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead).

Inspired by Danny Lyon’s 1967 photo book of the same name, The Bikeriders is the passion project of Cannes winner Jeff Nichols (Take Shelter), who wrote and directed. The crime drama has an 80% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes after ending at #2 on Indiewire’s Critics' Poll of the Best Films Opening in 2024.
