Plot

In the near-future, a civil war has engulfed the United States. An authoritarian federal government, led by a third-term president, is embattled by secessionist movements. Despite the president claiming victory is imminent, it is widely expected thatWashington, D.C. will soon be reached by the "Western Forces" (WF) led by Texas and California. After surviving a suicide bombing in New York City, jaded veteran war photographer Lee Smith and journalist colleague Joel meet with their mentor Sammy to share their plan to interview the isolated president. While trying to dissuade them from heading to the capital, Sammy joins them to reach the frontline at Charlottesville, Virginia. The next morning, Lee finds Joel has allowed a young aspiring photojournalist whom Lee encountered at the bombing, Jessie Cullen, to join them.

 

After departing the city, the group stops at a gas station protected by armed men. Jessie explores a nearby car wash, where she finds the men torturing two alleged looters. One of the guards follows Jessie, but Lee defuses the situation by taking a photo of the man posing with his victims. Later, Jessie berates herself for being too scared to take photos.

 

Following an overnight stop near ongoing fighting, the group documents combat the next day as secessionist militiamen successfully assault a loyalist-held building. Lee recognizes Jessie's potential as a war photographer and begins to mentor her, while Jessie photographs the secessionists executing prisoners. The group spends the night at a refugee camp before passing through a small town where, under watchful guard, residents attempt to live in blissful ignorance of the war.

 

Later, they are caught in a sniper battle amid the remains of a Christmas fair. Nearby snipers mock Joel's questioning what side they are fighting for or against, instead summarizing the situation as killing those trying to kill them. Jessie's nerve and photography skills improve as she becomes increasingly desensitized to violence. Jessie asks if Lee would photograph Jessie being killed, to which Lee responds in the affirmative.

 

While driving, the four encounter two foreign reporters they know, Tony and Bohai. Tony and Jessie switch vehicles before Bohai drives off ahead with Jessie in his car. The others catch up to find the pair held at gunpoint by unknown uniformed militia who are burying civilians in a mass grave. Sammy stays behind as the other three approach to attempt to negotiate their release, but the leader of the militia executes both Bohai and Tony for not being "American". The others are saved by Sammy after he rams the group's truck into members of the militia, but is mortally wounded while doing so.

 

Traumatized, the remaining three arrive at theCharlottesville WFbase and find most of the remaining loyalists have surrendered,leaving Washington, D.C. defended only by fanatical remnants of the armed forces and Secret Service.

2/2

The trio embed themselves with the WF as they assault D.C., where Jessie repeatedly endangers herself during fighting to capture photographs, while Lee struggles with combat fatigue.When the WF breach the White House's fortified perimeter, the presidential limousine flees but is quickly intercepted and its occupants are killed. Understanding it to be a distraction, the trio instead heads inside with five WF soldiers.

 

Advancing through the largely-abandoned building, an abortive attempt by the few remaining Secret Service agents still guarding the president to negotiate his surrender and safe passage turns into a firefight. Jessie steps into the line of fire while taking photos, but Lee pushes her to safety and is killed while Jessie captures Lee's death on her camera.

 

Jessie unemotionally continues into the Oval Office,watching soldiers drag the president from under his desk and prepare to execute him summarily. Joel momentarily stops them to get a quote from the president, who replies,"Don't let them kill me."Satisfied, Joel stops delaying the soldiers, while Jessie photographs WF soldiers posing with the president's corpse.

 

Production, Development and casting:

In the same interview, Sonoya Mizuno was revealed as part of the cast, having appeared in all of Garland's previous films.[1]

 

Filming

Principal photography began in Atlanta on March 1, [1][1] under the code name Road Trip.[1] By May, production had moved to London.[1] The production budget for Civil War was $ million, making it A's most expensive film.[] The movie was shot partially on the prosumer DJI Ronin D camera.[1][] The film's Washington D.C.-based finale required months of planning with Alex Garland and cinematographer Rob Hardy holding a series of roundtable discussions with production designer Caty Maxey, VFX supervisor David Simpson,[1] military supervisor Ray Mendoza and stunt coordinator Jeff Dashnaw.[][] The scenes in the Washington streets were filmed in Stone Mountain, Georgia, while the White House sequences were filmed at the Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta.[][]

 

Post-production

Film editor Jake Roberts and sound editor Glenn Freemantle[] re-team with Alex Garland, as does VFX supervisor David Simpson with Framestore.

 

Release

The film's world premiere at South by Southwest

On April 1, , A promoted the film on Instagram by posting five images created by artificial intelligence (AI), each showing a different American city in postapocalyptic disarray. The images were criticized for inaccurately depicting certain cityscapes: the AI-generated image of Chicago wrongfully represented the Marina City apartment complex, with its buildings being separated by a non-existent island on the Chicago River. In real life, the buildings are located directly next to each other.[][] A source connected to the film confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that they were "AI images inspired by the movie. The entire movie is a big 'what if' and so we wanted to continue that thought on social — powerful imagery of iconic landmarks with that dystopian realism."[][]

FEATURED REVIEW

Disappointing

The title is "Civil War" but that's the closest you're gonna get to an actual Civil War during this movie. This is sort of a low rent version of Apocalypse Now. The characters are going on a mission to reach the White House. And along the way they wind up in several violent misadventures.

 

But Apocalypse Now fleshed out the target - Colonel Kurtz.In this story, we have no idea who the President is psychologically and why others want to kill him. So the underlying motivation driving the protagonist is completely lacking.Moreover, during the course of what is supposedly a war, some of the characters engage in teenage antics that undermine the seriousness of their plight.

 

As many other commentators have stated - this movie is disjointed. If you're expecting to see a Civil War, DON'T watch this movie. There ain't one in there….
