1983; a series of increasingly violent bank robberies, counterfeiting operations, and bomb blasts terrorises the Pacific Northwest. As law enforcement agents search for answers, Terry Husk (Jude Law) a troubled FBI agent in search of a quieter pace of life, comes to believe the crimes are the work of a group of domestic Neo-Nazis, inspired by a radical, charismatic leader, Bob Mathews, (Nicholas Hoult), plotting a devastating war against the federal government of the United States. Justin Kurzel (Nitram, True History of the Kelly Gang) brings his customary kinetic intensity to this brilliantly directed, propulsive true life crime drama which offers disturbing resonance with contemporary concerns about the rise of the far right across the globe.
