In the scorched deserts of Southern California, a sadistic outlaw biker gang known as the Hell Riders carves a path of destruction across the open road. Banished from their original gang for being too violent, these rogue bikers live for chaos, terrorizing every town they pass through. When they come across Claire Delaney, a woman whose car has broken down in the middle of nowhere, they viciously attack and chase her into a quiet desert town.
The town, once peaceful, becomes a playground of violence as the Hell Riders begin to harass, assault, and intimidate its residents. Their twisted leader orchestrates mayhem without fear of law enforcement, turning the streets into a battleground. Local authorities prove useless against the gangβs brutality, leaving the townspeople in a state of helpless fear.
But hope arrives in the form of Doctor Dave, a mild-mannered town physician played by Adam West, who steps up as an unlikely hero. Alongside Claire and a few brave locals, he organizes a resistance, arming the community with whatever they can find to defend themselves. What follows is a gritty, blood-soaked showdown between the townsfolk and the Hell Riders in a battle for survival.
Hell Riders is a wild ride of exploitation cinemaβpacked with absurd dialogue, gratuitous violence, and outrageous characters. Despite its low budget and chaotic editing, the film has earned cult status among fans of bizarre B-movies, celebrated for its sheer audacity and over-the-top portrayal of good vs. evil on the edge of nowhere.
