The Wettest County in the World, also known as Lawless (which I will use to make a life just a little bit easier),
is based on the novel written by Matt Bondurant, the grandson of one the main
characters in his historical novel. Lawless
is set during the probation era, a time in which alcohol was banned, thus
presenting the opportunity for people to profit from the trading of alcohol.
The Bondurant brothers – Forrest (Tom Hardy), Howard (Jason Clarke) and Jack (Shia
LaBeouf) – are just one example of the many businesses that operate on the
illegal trading of alcohol.
