The film has a stellar cast, with great biker names. Benny (Austin Butler), Johnny (Tom Hardy), Zipco (Michael Shannon, natch), Funny Sunny (Noman Reedus), Cockroach (Emory Cohen) and love interest Kathy (Jodie Comer). Set in the 1960s, it follows the rise of the Vandals MC, a Chicago outlaw motorcycle club.
