Hell Ride is a gritty action film written, directed by, and starring Larry Bishop, released under the “Quentin Tarantino Presents” banner. The film pays homage to the outlaw biker movies of the 1960s and ’70s, combining vengeance, loyalty, and biker gang rivalries in a rough neo‐outlaw western style.

The plot centers on Pistolero, leader (“Prez”) of a Southern California motorcycle gang called The Victors. He has loyal lieutenants — The Gent and the young Comanche. The story begins with a flashback to 1976, when Cherokee Kisum, Pistolero’s girlfriend (then known as Johnny), is brutally murdered by The Deuce and Billy Wings, leaders of a rival gang known as the Six‑Six‑Six’ers. Cherokee had hidden away drug money from The Deuce behind his back, which becomes another reason for her murder. Her young son also vanishes after her death.

Years later, The Deuce returns to the area to settle old scores, and Billy Wings reforms the 666ers, seeking to regain territory and influence. The resurgence of this rival gang threatens the Victors. New murders occur: a member of The Victors from the old days (St. Louie) is killed in a similar manner to Cherokee, and the gang treasurer, Bob the Bum, is also murdered. These killings provoke Pistolero into action, pushing him to seek revenge against The Deuce and Billy Wings.

Meanwhile, there are betrayals and divisions within the Victors themselves. Some members question Pistolero’s leadership, others are tempted or coerced by the lure of siding with the 666ers. Pistolero is supported by his old friend and ally Eddie Zero, and by his mysterious “medicine woman” Nada, as he tries to outmaneuver both external threats and internal dissent.

In the midst of the revenge quest, Pistolero also searches for Cherokee’s missing son, a subplot that brings emotional weight to the story. The violence escalates, confrontations with Billy Wings and The Deuce become inevitable, and Pistolero must use both strength and cunning to bring down his adversaries. Some of the members of his gang are less faithful, and a few are killed as the conflict intensifies.

By the end, Hell Ride delivers almost pure vengeance: Pistolero and his remaining loyal Victors locate The Deuce and Billy Wings, confront them, and attempt to settle the old score once and for all. The movie is not concerned with clean redemption or moral complexity to a large degree; it emphasizes raw biker violence, revenge, loyalty, and brotherhood. Although it has stylized dialogue, “machismo,” sexual content, and lots of gunfire, it also tries to evoke nostalgia for classic biker film tropes.
