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.

CRITICS REVIEWS

View All (41) Critics Reviews
Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post As a simultaneously slick and provocative
entertainment, “War Game” is chilling and a tad infuriating, offering a
white-knuckle ride that may feel a bit too fresh in the memory for viewers who
are still traumatized by the real thing. Rated: 2.5/4 •  Aug 29, 2024 Full
Review Claudia Puig FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) This was fascinating,
urgent and important. Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Mick LaSalle San Francisco
Chronicle If that’s not scary enough, “War Game” shows how social media and TV
news could be weaponized against the legitimate government. Rated: 3/4 •  Aug
27, 2024 Full Review Oscar Goff Boston Hassle It’s frankly terrifying stuff, and
not recommended viewing immediately before bedtime. Aug 30, 2024 Full Review
Dennis Harvey 48 Hills The dramatics enacted here by an array of officials from
the last five administration aren’t treated as a joke, and don’t feel like one.
Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Ray Pride Newcity The clock ticks; the moment
bristles... January 6: but worse. The relentless, enthralling nonfiction
thriller, devised and directed by Jesse Moss and Tony Gerber, is a heroic slab
of narrative construction, improvisation, theater and political narrative.

Michael I liked the idea better than the film. For a film with a 6 hour clock
War Game took leisurely digressions into back stories. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated
4 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review Andrew Exceptionally timely and realistic.
Very scary. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review
William B This film is a bit unerving when you watch the complexity of decision
making. The use of real people in place of actors lends to its credibility and
impact. The danger of a repitition of Jan 6, is made plain by the issues that
are raised by its participants in their roles. This is a film that every high
school civics class should include. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars
08/10/24 Full Review jennifer j A warning of what could happen if we don’t get
out the Democratic vote. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full
Review Tony Gerber Thrilling, terrifying and essential! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated
5 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review Sue C This is a cautionary tale that must
be seen & taken seriously by everyone who does not want a repeat of Jan 6, 2021
Superbly acted, gripping & timely & should be availableeverywhere before
