The Anarchist Cookbook is a 2002 black comedy film directed by Jordan Susman. The movie is about a young honors student-gone-anarchist, Puck (Devon Gummersall), and his group of anarchist friends living peacefully in a Dallas commune until a nihilist, Johnny Black (Dylan Bruno), appears with The Anarchist Cookbook and completely destroys their way of life.The movie was heavily criticized by anarchists for its poor presentation of anarchist theory, philosophy, and ethics, which they felt amounted to anti-anarchist propaganda.
