A former motorcycle gang member rates scenes from The Bikeriders, explaining how the film gets everything right. Directed by Jeff Nichols, The Bikeriders stars Austin Butler as Benny, a member of the Vandals Motorcycle Club who finds himself torn between loyalty to his increasingly violent gang and Kathy (Jodie Comer), the woman he loves. The film, which stars Tom Hardy in the role of the motorcycle gang leader, takes place in the 1960s and has been praised for, among other things, its authentic portrayal of biker gang life.
In a recent video for Insider, former Hells Angels chapter president Pat Matter analyzes The Bikeriders for its realism, revealing that the crime drama is highly accurate in a number of ways.
