This morning, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment announced that “The Bikeriders” will be made available on digital PVOD platforms tomorrow, July 9, 2024. For those doing the math from home, that comes barely three weeks after the movie first released in theaters as the studio is obviously eager to let the summer blockbusters rule the box office roost (shoutout to “Inside Out 2” and “A Quiet Place: Day One”) rather than continue running this out as a bit of counterprogramming, like it would’ve in the Before Times preceding the pandemic. Hopefully, a whole new demographic of movie fans will now be set to discover the dusty, nostalgic joys of “The Bikeriders.”

There’s no word on any bonus features or other extras included in digital editions of the film, but fans will be able to rent or purchase digital copies of “The Bikeriders” from all the usual online platforms starting tomorrow. Though perhaps not Jeff Nichols’ best effort of his career, that only speaks to the quality of his previous movies — you can’t go wrong with “Take Shelter,” “Mud,” or “Midnight Special.” In any case, “The Bikeriders” stars Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, Jodie Comer, and Mike Faist in a sweeping, throwback story to when motorcycle gangs roamed the American Midwest. You can check out the official synopsis below:

After a chance encounter at a local bar, strong-willed Kathy (Comer) is inextricably drawn to Benny (Butler), the newest member of Midwestern motorcycle club the Vandals, led by the enigmatic Johnny (Hardy). Much like the country around it, the club begins to evolve, transforming from a gathering place for local outsiders into a dangerous underworld of violence, forcing Benny to choose between Kathy and his loyalty to the club.
