Quick Answer

What is Hells Chosen Few about?

Hells Chosen Few is a 1968 American action-crime film directed by David L. Hewitt about a Marine who infiltrates a biker gang to clear his brother's name after a murder accusation.

Programmer's Pick

This is a psychotronic spin on the outlaw biker formula: Vietnam vets, corrupt sheriffs, and a surly parade of handguns, hearses, and beer-soaked bravado. If your cinematic diet needs more black bras, brotherly bonds, and the occasional barroom punch, Hells Chosen Few is a brawny time capsule from the independent film wilds of 1968.

Overview

In the dust-choked backroads of 1960s America, a Marine returns home from Vietnam only to be caught in a web of suspicion and violence. When his brother—a biker—is falsely accused of murder by a drunken sheriff, the Marine refuses to accept the official story. Driven by loyalty and a sense of justice, he infiltrates the infamous Hell's Chosen Few biker gang, navigating a world of outlaws, bar brawls, and backroom deals. Complicating matters, he falls for a reserved local woman, risking the wrath of her father, the town's biker-hating sheriff. This is a gritty ride through loyalty, suspicion, and the volatile intersection of returning veterans and outlaw culture.
