Genç ve öfkeli bir Marlon Brando, 50'lerin bu kült klasiginde beyaz perdeyi fethediyor. Brando'nun canlandirdigi Johnny, küçük, uyusuk bir California kasabasini ele geçiren motorsikletli çetenin lideridir. Deri ceketli genç motorcu, kasabanin en güzel kizi Kathie'ye (Mary Murphy) asik olana kadar sadece yikimla ilgileniyor gibidir. Ancak Johnny'nin sanssizligi, psikopat rakibi Chino (Lee Marvin) tarafindan tehdit edilmesi ve bunun üstüne, kasaba halkinin düsmanligi ve önyargilaridir. Film, İngiltere'de 1967 yılına kadar yasaklı olarak kalmıştır. Cop-hating Johnny Strabler is recounting the fateful events that led up to the "whole mess" as he calls it, his role in the mess and whether he could have stopped it from happening. The Black Rebels, a motorcycle gang of which Johnny is the leader, cause a ruckus using intimidation wherever they go, with their actions bordering on the unlawful. On the day of the mess, they invade a motorcycle racing event, at which they cause a general disturbance culminating with one of the gang members stealing a second place trophy to give to Johnny. Despite not being the larger winning trophy, it symbolizes to Johnny his leadership within the group. Their next stop is a small town where their disturbance and intimidation tactics continue. Some in town don't mind their arrival as long as they spend money. Harry Bleeker, the local sheriff, doesn't much like them but is so ineffective and weak that he doesn't do anything to stop them.
