Jude Law stars as an FBI agent investigating violent crimes by a white supremacist group in 'The Order,' which debuted at the Venice Film Festival. The film is an adaptation of Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt's nonfiction book 'The Silent Brotherhood.'

Nicholas Hoult plays Robert Jay Mathews, the group's charismatic leader. The story, set in 1983, documents the group's bank robberies and armored car heists, which led to one of the largest manhunts in FBI history.

Law, who also produced the film, was drawn to the story's contemporary relevance. 'It's always interesting finding a piece from the relative past that has some relationship to the present day,' he said. Director Justin Kurzel aimed to create a film with the simplicity of 1970s dramatic thrillers. The cast and crew were particularly struck by the story's modern-day parallels.
