For over a year, a series of bold daylight bank robberies and armored car heists leaves law enforcement baffled and the public panicked throughout the Pacific Northwest. As the attacks become increasingly violent, FBI agent Terry Husk (Jude Law) becomes convinced that the robberies are the work of a domestic terrorist gang that plan to use the loot to finance an armed uprising against the U.S. government. Based on a true story, The Order follows Husk and his team into the tangled world of white supremacists to try to head off a violent uprising that could shatter the nation. As the militia builds a war chest of over $4 million, Husk pursues the malevolent racist Bob Mathews to a final bloody standoff that will go down in U.S. history.

Critics Consensus

A stoic Jude Law and diabolically good Nicholas Hoult turn the tides of history in this grippingly intense thrill ride.

While the film keeps you well engaged, you can foresee much of the happenings, despite not having read the book or being aware of this slice of American political history. At times Kurzel’s approach feels too muted in its rigour for details...

The Nightly (AU)

The Order doesn’t deploy any fancy tricks or ingenious twists, in some ways, it’s an old-fashioned throwback. That’s what makes it such a satisfying film. It is exactly what it says it is, and it does it with class and discipline.

Rated: 3.5/5

The Order is as tense and visceral as it is timely.

Houston Press

Director Justin Kurzel mostly avoids comparison to current events — concentrating on the dissonance of violence among the serene surroundings — but the parallels are unavoidable nonetheless.

Rated: 4/5

Flicks (AU, NZ, UK)

Thinking about how these events of forty years ago have continued to ripple through the US - and into the White House in 2025 - lends The Order a chilling quality.

Very engaging film with a solid performance by Jude Law . Not a hint of his being British in his speaking. So nice to see something original now and then.

I liked real life stories liked this one. It was interesting to see how things unfolded in 1984 related to this Terrorist group. I learned quite of few things. It was a good movie to watch.
