White Supremacy Takes Center Stage in “The Order,” a Timely Thriller Based on a True Story
The film “The Order” dives deep into the chilling world of white supremacy in the 1980s, exploring the rise of a neo-Nazi group and the FBI’s desperate attempts to stop them. This true story, hitting theaters in December 2024, feels particularly relevant in today’s climate.
The movie follows Bob Matthews (Nicholas Hoult), the leader of a violent group called The Order (also known as The Silent Brotherhood), as they embark on a series of armed robberies to fund their planned uprising against the U.S. government. FBI agent Terry Husk (Jude Law) leads the charge to bring them down before their actions escalate into a nationwide conflict.
Based on the book “The Silent Brotherhood” by Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt, “The Order” shines a light on the very real threat of domestic terrorism and the devastating consequences of hate-fueled ideologies. The film’s exploration of white supremacy resonates with contemporary concerns about extremism, making it a powerful and potentially controversial piece of cinema.
With a screenplay by Zach Baylin and direction by Justin Kurzel, “The Order” also features a strong supporting cast including Tye Sheridan, Jurnee Smollett, Alison Oliver, and Marc Maron. After its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, the film is set to make a significant impact when it reaches U.S. audiences on December 6th.
