The Bikeriders depicts the group’s evolution from a loyal, respectable club to a criminal organization.
The Bikeriders opened in theaters on June 21. If you still want more movies about gritty outlaws hitting the open road, then watch these three movies. Our picks include a seminal movie of the 1960s, the first film in an iconic action franchise, and one of Nichols’s earliest projects as a director.Easy Rider (1969)
The quintessential biker movie is Easy Rider. After scoring some money after a drug deal, Wyatt (Peter Fonda) and Billy (Dennis Hopper) gas up their Harleys and embark on a journey from California to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. The two free-spirited rebels cross paths with people of all backgrounds on their trip, from a graceful farmer and free-loving hippie to cocky rednecks and headstrong police officers.
