Outlaw Prophet: Warren Jeffs is a 2014 biographical television film that explores the life of Warren Jeffs, the former leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS). Jeffs was known for his polygamous marriages and was one of the FBI's most wanted men before his arrest in 2006. The film follows Jeffs' rise to power as the leader of the FLDS, a group that split from the mainstream Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints over the issue of polygamy. Jeffs' father was the previous leader of the church, and after his death, Jeffs became the new prophet, wielding significant power over his faithful followers. Through a series of flashbacks and interviews with those who knew Jeffs, the film chronicles his path from a young and privileged member of the FLDS to a powerful and controlling figurehead.

Tony Goldwyn stars as Jeffs, delivering a haunting portrayal of the enigmatic and manipulative cult leader. Goldwyn captures Jeffs' charisma and ability to convince his followers to follow him blindly, despite his often harmful and destructive actions. His acting is complemented by Molly Parker's performance as one of Jeffs' wives, who becomes increasingly disillusioned with his behavior and control over the cult. Parker brings a strong sense of empathy to her character, making her an important figure in the story.

Joey King also shines in her role as one of Jeffs' many child brides. King shows her character's fear and vulnerability in the face of Jeffs' abuse and control, showcasing her incredible acting range. The scenes between Jeffs and his various wives are among the most harrowing in the film, highlighting the danger and abuse that is often prevalent in cults.

Outlaw Prophet: Warren Jeffs also delves into the legal troubles that eventually led to Jeffs' capture and imprisonment. The FBI's pursuit of Jeffs was intense, and the film portrays the federal agents as well-intentioned but somewhat ineffectual in their efforts to bring him to justice. The film also touches on the impact of Jeffs' actions on his followers, many of whom continue to believe in him despite his criminal behavior.

Overall, Outlaw Prophet: Warren Jeffs is a fascinating and disturbing look into the world of cults and their leaders. The film pulls no punches in its portrayal of Jeffs' behavior, showcasing the true horrors of his abuse and manipulation. The strong performances from the lead actors add an extra layer of depth to the story, making it a must-watch for anyone interested in true-crime stories or the psychology of cults.
