Biker Boys is a film created in 2003 by American director Reggie Rock Whitewood. The melodrama is closely intertwined with the action movie, describing the difficult relationship between black participants in illegal motorcycle races. In the center of the plot is the president of the biker club and an outstanding racer nicknamed King Kali.

The beginning of the story
The underground king of motorcycle racing is Smoke, nicknamed King Kali, played by Lawrence Fishbourne. Many bikers challenged the king of the club, but no one managed to get out of the fight with the main character. The young racer Kid, whose image on the screen was embodied by Derek Luke, is indignant about the leader of the biker club. The guy wants to be the winner, taking away the title of leader and helmet from Smoke.
The situation is heating up after the death of the father of the protagonist. Slick Will worked for many years as the mechanic of King Kali, but his life was interrupted during the races, under the wheels of the enemy of the biker leader. After a while, the son of the late mechanic appears at a party in honor of motorcyclists, instantly intervening in the race between two bikers, easily overtaking them, taking a standing position on an iron horse. Having won an unexpected duel, Kid defies King Kali, but the president refuses the duel, citing the inexperience of the young guy.
After thinking about the situation, the young biker establishes his own motorcycle club, calling it “Biker Boys”.
Kid's Club and his future life in the world of bikers
After a while, people interested in the skill of the protagonist appear in the newly formed club.

After the hero fell into the hands of law enforcement, the mother of the central character, Anita, found out about the addiction of her own son. After losing her beloved spouse, the woman forces the guy to promise that he will refuse competitions and races.
Once at the next party of motorcycle racers, the main character is challenged by Dog - the best racer of the city. The hero understands that in case of victory, he will be able to fight the sworn enemy and without hesitation accepts the challenge. Kid's mother, having learned about the intentions of her son, turns to Smoke for help, telling that Kid is the king of bikers as his own son. The king manages to cancel the fight, however, to accomplish his plan, the man had to meet in a fist fight with his offspring. The next day, Kid's mother tells him who is actually his father.
Having learned the truth, the young racer leaves the house, falling into all serious. The team of the protagonist, Biker Boys, participates in all city fights, resorting to gross violations of the rules. Once the hero gets into serious trouble, but thanks to the sudden intervention of Smoke and his minions, the conflict is resolved. All kinds of attempts by the King of the motorcycle club to talk with his son ended in failure and aggression on the part of the young guy.
