Under the Banner of Heaven

After the 1984 murder of Brenda Lafferty and her baby, Detective Jeb Pyre learns the woman married into a prominent and devout Mormon family. But her modern outlook soon clashed with her five brother-in-laws’ views on marriage, religion, and the government. As conflicts arose among their wives, their community, and their church - the Lafferty brothers explored Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints teachings about polygamy, taxation and atonement. Now Detective Pyre must question his own faith as he pursues men willing to spill blood in the name of God.

Andrew Garfield stars in the FX on Hulu series “Under the Banner of Heaven,” based on the book by John Krakauer. The story flashes between the murder investigation, the evolution of the Lafferty’s extremist views, and scenes from Mormon history that informed the religious overtones of the crime.

OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN" BEGIN AROUND THE 45th MINUTE.
