Los Angeles, CA – February 20, 2024 – In a surprising twist, director Alex Garland’s latest film, titled simply “Civil War,” tackles a fictional conflict within the United States, not the historical one.
The movie, described as an “adrenaline-fueled thrill ride,” depicts a near-future America divided between the “Western Forces” led by Texas and California, and the remaining states.

Starring Kirsten Dunst as a journalist navigating the crumbling nation, the film also features Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Cailee Spaeny, Jesse Plemons, and Nick Offerman as the president.
Garland describes “Civil War” as a contemporary war film, highlighting the film’s unique blend of genre and its challenging production process. Notably, it marks A24’s most expensive film to date.
While the historical “Civil War” has been explored in numerous films, Garland’s “Civil War” promises a fresh and thought-provoking look at a potential future conflict within the United States. The trailer, available above, offers a glimpse into this chillingly plausible scenario.
