Story
Under the Banner of Heaven follows Jeb Pyre (Andrew Garfield), a devout detective investigating the brutal murder of a young mother in rural Utah. As his investigation deepens, he uncovers connections to an esteemed local family's descent into LDS fundamentalism and their growing distrust of the government. This exploration challenges Pyre's own religious beliefs as he navigates the complex world of Mormon fundamentalism.
Summary
Based on Jon Krakauer's non-fiction book of the same name, 'Under the Banner of Heaven' is a dramatic mini-series that examines the intersection of faith, family, and justice in 1980s Utah. The story revolves around real-life events involving the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), a radical offshoot of the Mormon church.
