Drawing its inspiration from the 1989 non-fiction book ‘The Silent Brotherhood’ by Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt, the movie delves into the unsettling narrative of the white supremacist group known as The Order, which was active in the United States during the tumultuous 1980s. The gripping storyline unfolds with a wave of bank robberies and car heists that send shockwaves through communities in the Pacific Northwest. Amidst the chaos, a lone FBI agent becomes convinced that these criminal acts are not the handiwork of conventional, financially motivated wrongdoers but rather the sinister machinations of a group of domestic terrorists.
The film boasts an exceptional cast, including Hoult as the charismatic leader of the group, alongside the formidable talents of Jude Law and Tye Sheridan.
