It’s not very often you get to see motorcycles in the mainstream, but a new film with some seriously big names is out in cinemas right now.
The Bikeriders tells the story of The Vandals, a fictional 60s motorcycle club which descends into chaos as its members become involved in gambling, drugs, murder, and gang warfare. Sounds like fun, right?
It’s got a cracking cast, too, with some top acting talent on hand to tell the story right, including Tom Hardy, Jodie Comer, Norman Reedus and Austin Butler.

Written and directed by experienced hand Jeff Nichols, who’s been biding his time after reading Danny Lyon’s cult book of the same name over 20 years ago, the film’s been a proper labour of love – and it’s even had Lyon’s approval.
Speaking about the book, Nichols said: “It was, quite simply, the coolest book I’d ever come across. My hope was to make a film that captured this feeling, and more importantly, transferred it to a larger filmgoing audience.”
The film was released in UK cinemas on June 21. If you missed it, don’t worry as you’ll be able to bag yourself a copy or stream it online.
