Lawless (2012)
Lawless is a 2012 gangster film directed by John Hillcoat (The Road) and based on the true story of a family of bootleggers (portrayed by Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, and Jason Clarke) who decide to fight back against a corrupt politician and his agent. The film is set in Franklin County, Virginia in 1931, late in the Prohibition era. The film's cast includes Jessica Chastain, Guy Pearce, and Gary Oldman. It was based on the book The Wettest County in the World, written by Matt Bondurant, grandson of Jack.
Forrest Bondurant (Tom Hardy) carries a Colt Detective Special throughout the film. Jack Bondurant (Shia LaBeouf) also handles Forrest's revolver, posing with it in photographs and taking it during the final shootout.
Forrest Bondurant (Tom Hardy) fires a nickel Colt New Service during the bridge shootout. This was previously identified as a Police Positive but based on the bore size and the front sight, it is in fact a New Service.
One of the drunken thugs in the Blackwater station carries a Single Action Army Cavalry Model with a 7.5" barrel. Cricket Pate (Dane DeHaan) picks it up off of the ground and uses it to subdue the man. In the book, it was an older station assistant named Hal who had grabbed the SAA.
Howard Bondurant's (Jason Clarke) sidearm of choice in the film is a Webley .455 Mk VI, seen during the opening sequence in 1918 and later during the bridge shootout. Jack (Shia LeBeouf) and Cricket Pate (Dane DeHaan) also pose with the revolver on Jack's car. This was previously identified as a .38 Webley Mk IV, but it can be determined to be a Mk VI based on the size of the revolver in Cricket's hands and the big chambers as it is seen being reloaded.
Special Agent Charlie Rakes (Guy Pearce) uses a Winchester Model 1897 "Trench Gun". Floyd Banner also keeps at least one in his arsenal, although he never uses it during the film.
During the opening flashback, set in 1918, eight-year-old Jack Bondurant handles a bolt-action rifle when his brothers try to get him to kill a pig. In this book, this was declared to be a .22-caliber.
