Film Information

War Game sweeps audiences into an elaborate future-set simulation that dramatically escalates the threat posed by the January 6, 2021 insurrection. The film follows a bipartisan group of US defense, intelligence, and elected policymakers spanning five presidential administrations as they participate in an unscripted role-play exercise. Portraying a fictional President of the United States and his advisors, they confront a political coup backed by rogue members of the US military in the wake of a contested 2024 presidential election. Like actors in a thriller, but with profound real-world stakes, the players have only six hours to save American democracy.

Reviews

“War Game is blunt and effective. It’s easy to get swept up by the ticktock storytelling, and to be moved both by the recent history it invokes and by the sincerity of its participants.”

Manohla Dargis
New York Times

“War Game serves as a warning that if history repeats itself, the difference between doing so as farce or tragedy rests on a knife’s edge.”

Siddhant Adlakha
Variety

“Moss and Gerber clearly understand that the ticktock of this hypothetical insurgency will make for exciting cinema, but they’re also interested in how the people participating in this simulation got here.”

Bilge Ebiri
