Legions of Brando impersonators have turned his performance in this seminal 1954 motorcycle movie into self-parody, but it's still a sleazy good time.

Top Critic The film is outdated and its message overly stated, but in 1953, Brando's rebel unwittingly became a new screen hero and heralded the arrival of the Beat Generation.

Brando's biker seems disarmingly tame by comparison with the wild angels he spawned. Yet the film isn't half bad.

Ultimately The Wild One exploits and patronizes the bikers it depicts, and isn't the youth picture it is made out to be.
