Quick Answer

What is Wild Riders about?

Wild Riders is a 1971 American crime thriller directed by Richard Kanter about two bikers who, after being expelled from their gang, invade a mansion and terrorize its occupants.

Programmer's Pick

If your taste skews toward exploitation’s darker corners, Wild Riders delivers—with a double-shot of bikers, brutality, and bad intentions. Alex Rocco rides well outside of his Godfather territory here, bringing a nasty edge to this sleazy, sun-soaked home invasion. Not for the faint of heart or the easily scandalized.
