Many science fiction tales attempt to show us what may happen if certain mindsets or current dilemmas aren't handled properly, a tradition that Alex Garland's 2024 new movie Civil War is honoring. Specifically, the movie imagines a worst-case scenario in the US where different factions of the country secede from the US government and cause the country’s second civil war.
Civil War hails from A24, the indie studio that has become one of the more popular brands among movie lovers. In 2023 they were behind critically-acclaimed movies like Past Lives, Talk to Me, Priscilla and The Zone of Interest. Civil War headlines a 2024 slate that includes Problemista, Kristen Stewart's Love Lies Bleeding and more.
