The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

The Bikeriders

Inspired by true events, The Bikeriders follows the rise of a midwestern motorcycle club, the Vandals.

The club evolves over the course of a decade through the 1960s and 1970s - through the changing climate of America's cultural landscape - from a gathering place for local outsiders into a more sinister group, transforming their original unique way of life and forcing members to choose between gang loyalty and societal conventions.

Directed by Jeff Nichols (Take Shelter, Midnight Special, Mud), and starring Austin Butler (Dune: Part Two), Jodie Comer (The End We Start From, and TV's Killing Eve), Tom Hardy (The Revenant, Bronson, Mad Max: Fury Road), Norman Reedus (American Gangster, 8mm, Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding), and frequent Jeff Nichols collaborator Michael Shannon (Take Shelter, Midnight Special).
