This family saga follows the Bondurants, bootlegging brothers, runnin’ stills, runnin’ loads, and runnin’ from the law in Depression-era Virginia. The story follows the experience of the youngest Bondurant, Jack (Shia LaBeouf), and his family’s moonshine enterprise supplies the action in a plot that evokes the culture of distilling and distributing white lightning. To optimistic Jack, bootlegging is both a bond to his older brothers, Forrest and Howard and a means to make cash to impress a girl. Forrest, by contrast, is taciturn and suspicious: the world is violent and he meets it on that ground. Tender of the stills and imbiber from the same, burly Howard is always ready to take on the Bondurants’ enemies, corrupt law officers. (Roadshow Entertainment)
