The Bikeriders | Official Trailer | 20th Century Studios

For a film about the rough and tumble lives of motorcyclists, perhaps it was inevitable that The Bikeriders had a circuitous route to our cinema screens. The film, written and directed by Jeff Nichols and starring Austin Butler and Tom Hardy, tells the story of a fictional Chicago motorcycle gang in the 1960s. It premiered at the film festival Telluride last summer and was scheduled for release in December by 20th Century Studios.

The film’s first third, in which Butler gets accustomed to the world of the Vandals, is exhilarating. It’s hard not to see Butler as anything but a Hollywood star. There is a whiff of James Dean to Butler’s lost-boy persona and, it must be noted, his face. As he begins to integrate with other members of the gang – called things like Zipco and Cockroach – you begin to understand the allure of these freewheeling spirits .
