How to Watch The Bikeriders Movie Starring Austin Butler and Jodie Comer

Can you hear the thunder of the throttle outside your home? The Bikeriders is now available to rent and/or purchase via PVOD platforms. Based on the same-named 1968 book by Danny Lyon, the new movie from Focus Features arrives as an ode to the outlaw counterculture spirit of biker clubs of the 1960s and will arrive on PVOD platforms tomorrow — Tuesday, July 9. 

It’s also fully fueled with some amazing star power, thanks to a stellar cast led by Austin Butler (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Elvis), Tom Hardy (Dunkirk, Venom), Jodie Comer (Killing Eve, Free Guy), and Norman Reedus (The Boondock Saints, The Walking Dead), just to name a few. Comer narrates the movie as biker wife Kathy, looking back at the trials and tragedies of her time together with ringleader Benny (Butler) through the turbulent changes that clashed his Chicago-area MC club against the long arm of the law… not to mention the new breed of biker gangs that rode in to sweep away the free-wheeling spirit of his close-knit outfit’s 1960s rebel roots.

Since it’s a raucous ride-along filled with oodles of period-specific swearing, fist-swinging, and general biker-gang carousing, it’s been given an “R” rating for “language throughout, violence, some drug use and brief sexuality” by the Motion Picture Association of America — so you’ll definitely want to leave the kiddos behind when it’s finally time to strap in.

“I found Danny Lyon’s book 20 years ago, and it has been an obsession in my life ever since,” Nichols says in the movie’s production notes, adding that the book, “quite simply, [was] the coolest book I’d ever come across. My hope was to make a film that captured this feeling, and more importantly, transferred it to a larger filmgoing audience. That is my wish for The Bikeriders.”
