War Game – Watch the trailer for the new documentary that looks at “Six Hours to Save Democracy”

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.

The film is written and directed by Jesse Moss and Tony Gerber.

Opening New York August 2, 2024. Expanding to other cinemas including Los Angeles and Chicago August 9, 2024.
