From director Alex Garland (Annihilation, Ex Machina) comes a terrifyingly resonant dystopian thriller about a near-future America embroiled in a second bloody Civil War. 

Nick Offerman’s “three-term” president and the troops loyal to him are under attack from the Western Forces, a coalition of militias from California and Texas. The ensuing war has left America strewn with burnt-out cars, smoldering buildings, and homeless refugees. As the US government engages in armed conflict with seceding factions—the Florida Alliance and the militias of California and Texas—a group of journalists attempt to travel to the Capitol before rebel armies complete their siege and kill the President before he can be interviewed. These journalists are as follows: veteran war photographer Lee (Kirsten Dunst), Reuters correspondent Joel (Wagner Moura), fledgling photographer Jessie (Cailee Spaeny), and elderly reporter Sammy (Stephen McKinley Henderson) and what they find on their journey is a once-unified country ravaged by war crimes and scorched by violent insurgent coalitions, in a polarized world where someone’s worldview is reinforced by their own partisan media.  

 Civil War is a disturbing film that will be a provocative experience that offers an exhilarating, disturbingly plausible vision of a house divided.
