Bayview Entertainment has tabbed Mar. 28 as the Blu-ray debut date for writer/director Tony Mendoza’s mixed-genre thriller, Ride Hard: Live Free.
Mendoza’s film is one part that of a pure-biker tale. The Skoners would fit right at home in the cast of such drive-in biker classics and The Wild Angels, Hell’s Angels on Wheels and Angel Unchained.
Ride Hard: Live Free also mixes in the elements of a post-apocalyptic dystopian wasteland with an allegory on modern day cultural issues, including leadership, government and more ... a morality tale; a passion play, if you will, where each archetype has a role to play.
Center to the action is twelve-year-old Zyra (Lainee Rhodes — Bridge of the Doomed, Art of the Dead, The Legacy), who is part-mascot, part-prisoner, and not quite “ripe” enough to be passed around … soon, that will be soon. Escape? Perhaps, but Zyra is cunning and very much in survival mode.
Head of The Skoners, in his wasteland kingdom, is Guage (Emilio Rivera … as Marcus Alvarez in the Mayans M.C. television series), who is old school. A man with honor who would like to tone down the chaos … not quite settle down and become a farmer, with a front porch and a rocking chair, but he certainly yearns for some peace.
Counter to this is Tank (Derek Russo), a stone-cold killer who sees death and destruction as his path to becoming the next overlord. This is the spot that Zyra finds herself … the enemy of my enemy, is that really the best friend to have.
Welcome to the wasteland and hardcore biker action on Mar. 28 with the Blu-ray debut of Ride Hard: Live Free.
