Synopsis:

In 1965 Chicago, Benny, an impulsive young biker, will stop at nothing to prove his mettle to Johnny, the formidable leader of the local Vandals Motorcycle Club. But as Johnny realises his days at the helm are numbered, he begins the search for his successor. To everyone's surprise, including Benny, he is the perfect candidate. However, as the Vandals gain power and notoriety, Benny must confront the harsh truth: brutal violence is creeping up on his once-beloved club. With law enforcement and rival gangs closing in, both Johnny and Benny face an impossible dilemma: put family first or succumb to the unforgiving law of the streets.

Reviews:

"Nichols’s film is less interested in telling a story than pinning down a particular time, place and attitude – and does so with such pungent precision, you can all but smell it."  ****  DAILY TELEGRAPH

"Jodie Comer roars into her first Great American Film Role. And in his finest effort yet, Mud director Jeff Nichols has given her quite the machine to ride on."  EVENING STANDARD

"The performances here aren’t subtle exactly: with Comer’s fierce twang, Butler’s soft purr and Hardy’s sibilant Brandoesque drawl. But there’s such enormous potency and impact in everything they do onscreen."  ***** GUARDIAN
