Universal Pictures is thrilled to announce that Golden Globe winner and Academy Award® nominee Austin Butler will attend the Australian Premiere of The Bikeriders. Part of the Special Presentations strand of the Sydney Film Festival, the red-carpet event will be held at the State Theatre on Thursday 6 June.
Written and directed by Jeff Nichols (Loving, Midnight Special, Mud) and featuring an all-star cast that also includes Jodie Comer, Tom Hardy, Michael Shannon, Mike Faist, Norman Reedus and Toby Wallace, The Bikeriders follows the rise of a midwestern motorcycle club, The Vandals, in the 1960s.
The Bikeriders captures a rebellious time in America when the culture and people were changing. After a chance encounter at a local bar, strong-willed Kathy (Jodie Comer) is inextricably drawn to Benny (Austin Butler), the newest member of Midwestern motorcycle club, the Vandals led by the enigmatic Johnny (Tom Hardy). Much like the country around it, the club begins to evolve, transforming from a gathering place for local outsiders into a dangerous underworld of violence, forcing Benny to choose between Kathy and his loyalty to the club.
The Bikeriders hits Australian cinemas on July 3, 2024.
