The Bikeriders Plot
The official synopsis of The Bikeriders read, “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 (Jodie Comer) is inextricably drawn to Benny (Austin Butler), the newest member of the Midwestern motorcycle club, the Vandals led by the enigmatic Johnny (Tom 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.”
Based on the book by photographer Danny Lyon of the same name, the movie will offer a glimpse of the bike culture in the 1960s. It is expected to be a different kind of adaptation which will center on the Vandals Motorcycle Club, depicting their evolution from a local club to a formidable gang. Butler will star as Benny, who is unconditionally devoted to the club like its founder, Johnny, played by Hardy. Comer stars as Kathy, Benny’s wife who fell for him at a young age and bears the consequences of his involvement in the group.
