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. Their adventures are seen through the lives of its members and their families, and the club evolves over the course of a decade from a surrogate family for local outcasts into a violent organized crime syndicate.
