Summary

Stanley Kramer's stylized portrait of America's rebellious youth is considered the original motorcycle movie. Rebellious biker Johnny (Marlon Brando) and his gang descend upon a sleepy California town after being kicked out of a cycle competition. The bikers terrorize the locals while Johnny romances a local police officer's daughter. When the gang spins out of control, an innocent man is accidentally killed, and Johnny becomes the scapegoat.
