A bar scene in The Order takes place at Coeur d'Alene, which is located in Idaho, Drumheller. The exact name of the bar is Cactus Jack Saloon, and above it is Hotel Waldorf.

4) Calgary

Calgary has been featured in the film in various scenes. The scene where the gang members rob a bank was shot at the Sears store, while the car chase sequence was filmed in the downtown region of Calgary. The theatre scene was also shot in the same locality. A motel sequence took place at the Ambassador Motor Inn in the area.

More about The Order

The film revolves around a cop who is trying to stop a terrorist group that is responsible for a spree of robberies. Its official synopsis reads,

"A series of bank robberies and car heists frightened communities in the Pacific Northwest. A lone FBI agent believes that the crimes were not the work of financially motivated criminals, but rather a group of dangerous domestic terrorists."

The cast members of the film include,

Jude Law as Terry Husk
Nicholas Hoult as Bob Mathews
Tye Sheridan as Jamie Bowen
Jurnee Smollett as Joanne Carney
Sebastian Pigott as Bruce Pierce
Alison Oliver as Debbie Mathews
Odessa Young as Zillah Craig

In an interview with Deadline, Jude Law spoke about working with director Justin Kurzel. He said,

“Justin’s process was just delightful for me as an actor because sometimes directors just want you to go and do your work and turn up, and he was very much holding your hand and making suggestions, and the manifestos were just ideas or thoughts that he would put in your head, whether it was as simple as having breakfast as your character: what does he have for breakfast? How does he cook it? What does he want? How does he wash and what does he wear?”
