Jude Law Says Neo-Nazi Crime Thriller ‘The Order’ ‘Needed to Be Made Now’: ‘Sadly, the Relevance Speaks for Itself’


Jude Law said that his new film 'The Order,' about the FBI investigation of a neo-Nazi terrorist group in the '80s, 'needed to be made now.'

Based on true events, the film is set in 1983 Idaho and sees a lone FBI agent (Law) 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 (Nicholas Hoult), who are plotting a war against the U.S. government. Based on the 1989 book “The Silent Brotherhood” by Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt, the film also stars Tye Sheridan, Jurnee Smollett, Alison Oliver and Odessa Young. “The Order” sees Sheridan’s young police officer join Law’s FBI agent on the hunt for the supremacist group, and the actor said he had some experience of the film’s themes from his childhood.
