Civil War
Stream on September 13
Written and directed by Alex Garland, Civil War is a dystopian thriller that follows a group of war journalists from New York City to Washington D.C. amid a new American civil war. With the goal of interviewing the third-term fascist president (Nick Offerman) before rebel forces overrun the capital city and infiltrate the White House, Lee (Kirsten Dunst), Joel (Wagner Moura), Jessie (Cailee Spaeny), and Sammy (Stephen McKinley Henderson) make the treacherous journey across an embattled nation.
Along the way, they encounter factions on both sides and other precariously dangerous militias hellbent on following their own form of American justice. Despite its name, the film offers few details about how the nation succumbed to such a dystopian future. Instead, it focuses on the journalists and their point of view on the devolving American landscape. Civil War is streaming on Sept. 13
