A group of journalists, led by war photographer Lee (Kirsten Dunst), risk their lives as they journey to Washington D.C. during the outset of the Second American Civil War.
The American government – spearheaded by Nick Offerman’s President – face off against the separatist ‘Western Forces’ of California and Texas in a terrifying showdown which will determine the future of the nation.
A nerve-shreddingly timely blockbuster from genre master Alex Garland (28 Days Later, Annihilation, Men), Civil War is an affecting cinematic thrill ride, staging a disquietingly plausible imagined future of America balanced on the razor’s edge.
