In the thrilling, hybrid documentary WAR GAME, a bipartisan group of United States defense, intelligence, and elected policymakers participate in an unscripted role-play exercise in which they consider the sobering possibility of a political coup backed by rogue members of the US military in the wake of a contested 2024 presidential election (sound familiar?). Like actors in a thriller, but with profound real-world stakes, the players have only six hours to save American democracy and avoid civil war. Gripping, sobering, and perfectly timed as we hurtle toward a presidential election that will go down in American history no matter what the outcome, WAR GAME serves as an urgent warning and one of the scariest films you’ll see this year.
