At the 81st Venice International Film Festival, in competition, Justin Kurzel presents “The Order“.

Fred Film interviewed Jude Law co-producer and protagonist of “The Order“. In the film he acts the role of a veteran FBI investigator trying to stop a dangerous and cult-like group of white supremacists in 1982 USA.

Inspired by a real-life terror plot led by Robert Jay “Bob” Mathews, a longtime member of the neo- Nazi group Aryan Nations, The Order is a tense cat and mouse thriller that pits a seasoned FBI agent against the charismatic white supremacist leader played by Nicholas Hoult.

Jude Law explains that, despite the film being “an American story”, “If you look at it with a broader perspective, it’s about the need for community, understanding and safety”

As his character, Terry Husk, is not based on a real character but it’s more of a composition of different people, Jude Law reveals that with director Kurzel and writer Zach Baylin they had the chance of building with more freedom.

Plot

For over a year, a series of bold daylight bank robberies and armored car heists leaves law enforcement baffled and the public panicked throughout the Pacific Northwest. As the attacks become increasingly violent, FBI agent Terry Husk (Jude Law) becomes convinced that the robberies are the work of domestic terrorists that plan to use the loot to finance an armed uprising against the U.S. government.
Based on a true story, The Order follows Husk and his team into the tangled world of white supremacists as they try to head off a violent uprising that could shatter the nation. As the militia builds a war chest of over $4 million, Husk pursues the malevolent racist Bob Mathews to a final bloody standoff that will go down in U.S. history.
