Based on true events, the film is set in 1983 Idaho and sees a lone FBI agent follow a series of increasingly violent bank robberies and car heists, coming to realize that they’re the work of a group of dangerous domestic neo-Nazi terrorists, inspired by the radical leader Robert Jay Mathews, played by Nicholas Hoult, that are plotting a war against the U.S. government. “On January 6, 2021, nooses were hung in front of the Capitol Building imitating a fictional insurrection from the 1970’s novel ‘The Turner Diaries,’ the first master plan for domestic terrorism in America,” is how Kurzel, in a statement, has underlined the film’s current relevance.
