The Bikeriders is a 2023 American crime drama film written and directed by Jeff Nichols. The film stars Jodie Comer, Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, Michael Shannon, Mike Faist, and Norman Reedus. Its plot, inspired by the photo-book of the same name by Danny Lyon, depicts the lives of the Vandals MC, a fictional version of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club founded in the late 1960s.
The Bikeriders premiered at the 50th Telluride Film Festival on August 31, 2023, and was released in the United States on June 21, 2024. Originally scheduled to be released theatrically in the United States on December 1, 2023, by 20th Century Studios, the release was delayed due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Ultimately, Focus Features acquired the film rights from producer New Regency and Regency Enterprises. The film received positive critical reception and grossed $15 million worldwide.
