''[[The Wild One]]'' is a 1953 film starring [[Marlon Brando]]. While not his first film, it was one of the first to play off of his counter culture image and his portrayal as biker gang leader Johnny Strabler has been referenced and parodied in the decades since. The story involves a biker gang riding into a quiet town of "squares" and causing tension between the locals.

* [[Badass Biker]]: Probably the most iconic portrayal.
Line 17 ⟶ 18:
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Chief Bleeker doesn't want to charge the bikers for a simple accident. In fact all of the police officers in the film seem reasonable, looking for a peaceful solution and trying to get the gang to leave rather than cause any riots.
* [[Ripped from the Headlines]]: The story is loosely based off of the events of the 1947 [[wikipedia:Hollister riot|Hollister Riot]].
* [[Shout
* [[Teens Are Monsters]]
* [[Troubled but Cute]]: Johnny.
