The Wild One
Marlon Brando! Driven Too Far By His Own Hot Blood!
Two rival motorcycle gangs terrorize a small town after one of their leaders is thrown in jail.
A gang of 40 motorcyclists, the Blind Rebels, gatecrash a legitimate motorcycle race. They are eventually thrown out, but one of the gang steals the second prize trophy and gives it to their leader, Johnny. The gang then ride into Wrightsville, where they cruise up and down the main street, and pile into Bleekers - the local bar. The owner of the bar, the Sheriff, is happy to let the bikers spend their money, so does nothing to break up any disturbances. Johnny falls for the Sheriffs daughter, and tries to impress her with the trophy. When a rival gang ride into town, trouble is just around the corner.
This movie was the Hollywood 'version' of the incidents at Hollister,exagerated and manipulated by the press(Time Magazine), which gave birth to the 1 % outlaw biker.
