  • Maj. Gen. (ret.) Linda Singh

MORE ABOUT WAR GAME:

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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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.

DISCLAIMER: War Game is not affiliated with any political party. Portrayals of military officials in this film, use of rank, job title, and uniform do not imply the endorsement or participation of the Department of the Army or Department of Defense.
