About the film:
War Game is a documentary that 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. The simulation’s outcome hinges on several inflection points, from the government’s capacity to counter disinformation to the potential invocation of the Insurrection Act. While a documentary, the film builds tension like a fictional thriller. But the stakes are real.
