In 1931, the Bondurant brothers of Franklin County, Virginia, run a multipurpose backwoods establishment that hides their true business — bootlegging. Middle brother Forrest is the brain of the operation; older Howard is the brawn, and younger Jack, the lookout. Though the local police have taken bribes and left the brothers alone, a violent war erupts when a sadistic lawman from Chicago arrives and tries to shut down the Bondurants operation.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A brutal, family-centered crime saga set during Prohibition where three brothers fight for survival against an unstoppable force of corruption and violence. It's a portrait of loyalty tested by escalating brutality, with an operatic sense of doom hanging over every transaction.
