Directed by Roger Corman

When one of their own is shot down by the police, a chapter of Hells Angels stages a raucous funeral—but are they countercultural heroes or hopeless degenerates? Highly controversial in its day, Roger Corman’s film reversed traditional moral expectations, by setting its sympathies with the biker gang, and spawned a prolific cycle of late-1960s biker films. Starring Peter Fonda, Bruce Dern, Nancy Sinatra, Diane Ladd, and a supporting cast of real-life Hells Angels. (35mm presentation)

Director Roger Corman is scheduled to be present.

Partial support for Roger Corman's visit to Indiana came from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
