The Bikeriders – Opening Night Gala
Thursday 4 July from 6:30pm to 8:50pm
Fire up your chopper and celebrate the release of the acclaimed new drama starring Austin Butler, Jodie Comer, and Tom Hardy with a glass of sparkling on arrival! Follow the rise of a fictional 1960s Midwestern motorcycle club and the complicated lives of its members in this furious and compelling film direct from the Sydney Film Festival.
Inspired by Danny Lyon’s iconic book of photography, The Bikeriders immerses you in the look, feel, and sounds of the bare-knuckled, grease-covered subculture of ’60s motorcycle riders. Kathy (Jodie Comer), a strong-willed member of the Vandals who’s married to a wild, reckless bikerider named Benny (Austin Butler), recounts the Vandals’ evolution over the course of a decade, beginning as a local club of outsiders united by good times, rumbling bikes, and respect for their strong, steady leader Johnny (Tom Hardy). As life in the Vandals gets more dangerous, and the club threatens to become a more sinister gang, Kathy, Benny and Johnny are forced to make choices about their loyalty to the club and to each other.
