Lawless

2012· R· 1h 55m· Crime· Drama· Western

When the law became corrupt, outlaws became heroes.

Set in 1931 Franklin County, Virginia, "Lawless" charts the fortunes of the Bondurant brothers, who operate a speakeasy that doubles as a front for their lucrative moonshine business. Middle brother Forrest's sharp wits, Howard's brute strength, and Jack's vigilant lookout skills keep their enterprise thriving despite local corruption. The arrival of a sadistic Chicago lawman disrupts this uneasy peace, sparking a violent conflict that tests the brothers' resolve and loyalty. John Hillcoat's film is a gritty, atmospheric tale of rural lawlessness and familial bonds under threat.
