Wild Hogs

Four suburban friends feel stuck in routine and crave a sense of freedom, so they buy bikes and set out on a road trip. What begins as a light hearted escape soon escalates into a test of nerve and trust as they clash with a rough band of riders from New Mexico called the Del Fuegos. The ride forces them to improvise in unfamiliar places, swim through a barrage of miscommunications, and turn a string of unlikely mishaps into moments of teamwork. Their very different temperaments collide and then merge as they adapt to highway life, discovering that friendship can grow stronger when the map is unclear and the road is unpredictable. They learn to laugh at themselves for good.
