‘The Bikeriders’

In the turbulent 1960s, Johnny (Tom Hardy), the strong-willed leader of the Vandals motorcycle club, mentors Benny (Austin Butler), a promising young recruit. Benny quickly becomes involved with a woman named Kathy (Jodie Comer), forcing him to choose between the escalating violence of the club and a life with her.

This slice of Americana is skillfully shot and well-paced, infused with 1950s’ nostalgia—Hardy and Butler evoking echoes of Marlon Brando and James Dean. It’s an entertaining homage to a 1968 photo book by Danny Lyon.
