Jude Law made a powerful return to the big screen with his role in The Order, a crime thriller directed by Justin Kurzel, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival on August 31, 2024. The film, which centers on an FBI agent battling a group of neo-Nazi terrorists in 1980s Idaho, received a seven-minute standing ovation from the audience at the Palazzo del Cinema.
Law, who looked dashing in a black suit on the red carpet, was joined by director Kurzel and co-stars Nicholas Hoult, Tye Sheridan, and Jurnee Smollett as they soaked up the applause. The film, adapted from the 1989 book The Silent Brotherhood by Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt, tells the story of a lone FBI agent tracking a series of violent crimes orchestrated by a radical domestic terrorist group.
During a press conference earlier in the day, Law highlighted the relevance of the film in today’s political climate. “Sadly, the relevance speaks for itself,” Law stated, emphasizing the film’s timely reflection on the rise of far-right ideologies. Director Justin Kurzel also commented on the film's importance, noting, “It’s a manhunt into the depths of that hate, a foreshadowing of a divided America.”
The Order is set for release in the U.S. by Vertical in December, with international distribution handled by Amazon Prime Video.
