Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult have massive projects in December (Skeleton Crew for Law, Nosferatu for Hoult), but you shouldn’t overlook The Order, a crime drama based on a thrilling true story that is now playing.
Adapted from the book The Silent Brotherhood by Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt, The Order recounts an FBI investigation into a string of bank robberies that eventually led to a group of domestic terrorists. Law is playing the FBI agent, while Hoult is the criminal who’s part of the organization he is pursuing.
If that sounds intriguing to you, we’ve got everything you need to know about how to watch The Order right here.

Is The Order streaming?
No. As of right now, The Order is not available to stream, so going to the movie theaters is your only option to watch it.

What else to know about The Order
The Order is directed by Justin Kurzel, from a script written by Zach Baylin. Here is the official synopsis:
“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 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 US 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 US history.”
In addition to Law and Hoult, The Order stars Tye Sheridan, Jurnee Smollett, Alison Oliver and Marc Maron.
As far as reviews go, The Order is already “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes, with a score of 89% as of publication.
