Live by Night writer/director Ben Affleck describes his character Joe Coughlin as a man who returns from WWI disillusioned, and turns to life as an outlaw. He defines the term “living by night” as living by your own rules and morals, and says that the film explores the price of living life in that way. Ben reveals that the shootout after the car chase scene was about putting the audience in the shoes of the characters, and making them feel just as frightened as the characters did.

In 1920s Boston, Joe Coughlin (Ben Affleck) is a WWI vet and self-described anti-establishment outlaw. He's also the son of a Boston Police Deputy Superintendent.

When Joe crosses a powerful mob boss by stealing his money and his moll, he pays for it. The affair ends in tragedy and he sets out on a path of revenge and ambition that leads him out of Boston and up the ladder of Tampa's rum-running underworld. As he navigates Prohibition-era Tampa, his moral code is tested and he learns that his desire to see justice served comes with a hefty price tag.

Based on a Dennis Lehane novel of the same name.
