WATCH - Trailer for The Bikeriders, in cinemas 21 June

From director Jeff Nichols, The Bikeriders captures a rebellious time in America, when the country's culture and people were changing forever. Over the course of 10 crucial years, the film follows the evolution of elder statesman Johnny (Tom Hardy), the thrill-seeking Benny (Austin Butler) and their fellow bikers Zipco (Michael Shannon), Funny Sonny (Norman Reedus), Cal (Boyd Holbrook), Brucie (Damon Herriman), Wahoo (Beau Knapp), Cockroach (Emory Cohen), Corky (Karl Glusman), ) and The Kid (Toby Wallace) as they survive in a romantic, sometimes violent world that glorifies guns, booze, drugs and independence.

As she recounts to Danny (Mike Faist), when new member Kathy (Jodie Comer) accidentally finds herself in the clubhouse bar, she jumps on the back of Benny’s motorcycle and becomes a Vandal.

Over the course of a decade, as the country around them changes, the club evolves from a gathering place for fiercely individualistic antiheroes into a more sinister criminal enterprise and Kathy and Johnny find themselves at odds over their relationship to Benny. Avaricious interlopers take over and involve the Vandals in drug trafficking, gambling, murder for hire and open warfare with rival gangs, driving the group full-throttle toward oblivion.

Authentic, personal and uncompromising, The Bikeriders offers a raw perspective on the iconic outlaw bikers that have inhabited our imagination for more than half a century and the rebellious culture they were born out of.

The Bikeriders is released in cinemas in Ireland on June 21.
