Alex Garland's Civil War to release in India on April 12

Alex Garland's upcoming flick Civil War comes at a time when people of the US are active politically considering the elections. The same can be said about India as the film gears for its premiere in the country.

Civil War promises to show a different side of the US with ordinary citizens taking up arms against each other leading to a bloodbath on the streets. Calling itself a war epic, Alex’s film is a wholly consuming and thought-provoking war epic that uses the experience and motivations of a group of military-embedded journalists to highlight the chilling reality of living in a world that never learns.

In the film, the maker explores the unwavering commitment to truth through the lens of journalism with an aim to spark vital discourse and inspire viewers to critically evaluate the information they encounter on a daily basis via traditional or social media channels.

In the film, Academy Award nominee Kirsten Dunst plays a jaded photojournalist documenting the end of democracy as we know it in what's sure to be one of the year’s most controversial films. This gritty, war-torn film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Jesse Plemons.

Synopsis of Civil War

Civil War follows a group of journalists. At the center of this is veteran war photographer Lee, played by Kirsten Dunst, who has seen more death than many would in a lifetime. Now, she must cover a conflict in her own country and grapple with what this means. She takes aspiring young photographer Jessie (Cailee Spaeny) under her wing as she plans to travel across the country with her colleagues Joel (Wagner Moura) and Sammy (Stephen McKinley Henderson) to interview the president (Offerman) before what is believed to be the violent end of his regime.

Civil War will release in India and elsewhere on April 12.
