Tom Hardy and Jeff Nichols Break Down 'The Bikeriders' | Freeze Frame

In the latest episode of Esquire Freeze Frame, we sat down with 'The Bikeriders' writer‑director Jeff Nichols and the film's resident kingpin, Tom Hardy, to discuss the critically acclaimed film and delve into some pivotal scenes. Loosely based on photojournalist Danny Lyon's 1968 book of the same name, the movie follows Johnny (Hardy) as he builds and leads the Vandals, a Midwestern motorcycle club founded in the fires of boredom and antipathy. The story, told through the eyes of Kathy (Jodie Comer), Benny's wife, charts the club's evolution over a decade, from a refuge for outsiders to a hard‑boiled gang embroiled in crime and violence. The Bikeriders is in cinemas now.
