Storia
Knightriders (1981), directed by George A. Romero, follows a troupe of motorcycle enthusiasts who dress as knights and put on medieval reenactments for audiences at Renaissance fairs. The group is led by their 'King', Rodney 'The Knight' Harper, who believes himself to be an actual knight and expects his troupe members to remain loyal to him despite the pressures they face from local authorities, talent agents, and other external forces threatening to disrupt their family-like dynamic.
Riassunto
Knightriders is a 1981 film by George A. Romero that blends elements of action, drama, and science fiction. The movie centers around a group of motorcycle bikers who transform into medieval knights for reenactments at Renaissance fairs. As the troupe struggles to maintain their familial bond amidst increasing pressures from outsiders, their 'King', Rodney Harper, grapples with his own delusions of grandeur as a real-life knight. While not much is known about the film's specific themes or significance due to limited source information, Knightriders offers an intriguing exploration of group dynamics, leadership, and the blurred line between fantasy and reality.
