Three brothers find their bootlegging business under threat in Prohibition-era in Franklin County, Virginia by authorities who want in on their profits. The story is based on Matt Bondurant's grandfather and great-uncles.

Originally titled The Wettest County in The World, the film's title was briefly changed to The Promised Land, before eventually reverting back to Wettest County. Although intended to begin shooting in February 2010, it was reported in January that the project had fallen apart as a result of financing problems.

The indie studio Sony Red Wagon Entertainment decided to pick up the project. In December 2010, it was reported that LaBeouf would remain on board and Tom Hardy would step in as Forrest. Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska, Jason Clarke, Dane DeHaan, Guy Pearce, Gary Oldman and Randall Franks also joined the cast. Filming began on February 28, 2011 in various locations near Atlanta, Georgia, including Newnan, Grantville, Haralson, LaGrange, and Carroll County's McIntosh Park.

In March 2011, Momentum Pictures and its parent company Alliance Films acquired the U.K. and Canadian distribution rights. In May 2011, the Weinstein Company bought the U.S. distribution rights, with a wide release expected. In March 2012, the title was changed to Lawless.

Screenwriter Nick Cave also scored the film with Warren Ellis.
