The Bikeriders trailer – Tom Hardy and Elvis star Austin Butler thrill | Films | Entertainment

Having debuted at the Telluride Film Festival as this year’s opening movie, The Bikeriders has received glowing reviews.

Now the first trailer has arrived for the Chicago-set drama about criminal biker gangs based on the 1968 photo-book of the same name by Danny Lyon.

The synopsis reads: “Kathy (Jodie Comer), a strong-willed member of the Vandals who is married to a wild, reckless bikerider named Benny (Austin Butler), recounts the Vandals’ evolution over the course of a decade, beginning as a local club of outsiders united by good times, rumbling bikes, and respect for their strong, steady leader Johnny (Tom Hardy). Over the years, Kathy tries her best to navigate her husband’s untamed nature and his allegiance to Johnny, with whom she feels she must compete for Benny’s attention. As life in the Vandals gets more dangerous, and the club threatens to become a more sinister gang, Kathy, Benny and Johnny are forced to make choices about their loyalty to the club and to each other.”

The Bikeriders hits US movie theatres on December 1, 2023 and is TBC for UK cinemas.
