Jude Law Stars in 'The Order' Thriller

The film 'The Order,' starring Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult, explores the FBI's efforts to dismantle a white supremacist group, The Order, in the 1980s. This group, led by Robert Jay Mathews, was involved in bank robberies and violent activities to fund a coup against the U.S. government. The film, inspired by the nonfiction book 'The Silent Brotherhood,' emphasizes the ongoing relevance of such extremist ideologies, especially after events like the Capitol riot. Jude Law plays FBI agent Terry Husk, who navigates the challenges of tackling the group while dealing with personal struggles. The movie, directed by Justin Kurzel, is noted for its 1970s thriller style, echoing classic heist films. Despite its historical setting, the film highlights the persistent global issue of racial extremism.
