Survival Of The Fastest
Biker Boyz is an action-packed contemporary Western on wheels
with desperados who live every day on the edge.
In the world of underground motorcycle
clubs, the undefeated racer known as Smoke (Laurence Fishburne)
is the undisputed
King of Cali. But Smoke's dominance of the set is about to
be threatened by a young motorcycle racing prodigy called
Kid (Derek Luke), who is determined to win Smoke¡¦s
helmet and earn the coveted title.
Biker Boyz stars Academy Award nominee Laurence Fishburne
(What's Love Got to Do With It) as Smoke, and Derek Luke,
who recently won praise for his feature film debut in the
title role of Antwone Fisher, in the role of Kid.
The film also stars Orlando Jones
(Drumline), Djimon Hounsou (Gladiator), Lisa Bonet (Enemy
of the State), Brendan Fehr

by Reggie Rock Bythewood, whose film debut, Dancing in September,
was an official selection at the Sundance Film Festival and
premiered on HBO last year. Bythewood, whose credits as a
screenwriter include Spike Lee's Get On The Bus, also co-wrote
the screenplay with Craig Fernandez.
