The upcoming movie, "The Bikeriders," starring Austin Butler and Tom Hardy, is generating a considerable buzz as one of the most anticipated films of the summer. Based on Danny Lyon's iconic book of photography, the film promises to immerse viewers in the gritty and vibrant world of motorcycle riders in the 1960s.

The plot of "The Bikeriders" revolves around Kathy (played by Comer), a strong-willed member of the Vandals motorcycle club. Kathy is married to Benny (Butler), a wild and reckless bikerider. The story takes us on the Vandals' decade-long journey, starting as a close-knit group of outsiders united by their love for rumbling bikes, good times, and their respected leader, Johnny (Hardy).

As the years go by, Kathy finds herself struggling to navigate her husband's untamed nature and competition for his attention from Johnny, whom she sees as her rival. With the Vandals evolving into a more dangerous gang, Kathy, Benny, and Johnny are faced with choices that test their loyalty to the club and to each other.

The recently released behind-the-scenes look at "The Bikeriders" has raised expectations even higher. The film promises to capture the look, feel, and sounds of the '60s motorcycle subculture, creating a nostalgic experience for viewers. With its focus on a biker gang from the past, the film aims to tap into the enduring fascination people have with these subcultures.

The popularity of shows like "Sons of Anarchy" is a testament to the enduring appeal and intrigue of biker gangs. While not condoning any illegal activities associated with these groups, it's undeniable that biker culture holds a unique place in American society. "The Bikeriders" looks set to tap into that fascination and offer audiences an authentic glimpse into this alluring world.

Lead actor Austin Butler deserves recognition for his incredible run in recent years. With impressive projects like "Elvis," "Dune: Part Two," and "Masters of the Air" already under his belt, "The Bikeriders" further solidifies his rise as a notable talent in the industry.

Fans won't have to wait long to witness "The Bikeriders" come to life on the big screen.
