From ScreenHub’s four-star review of Civil War:
‘In Alex Garland’s Civil War, four journalists of different experience levels and backgrounds take to the treacherous US highways in search of the ultimate interview: the President, whose dictatorial actions such as disbanding the FBI and illegally ruling for another term, have ignited a full-scale Second American Civil War.
‘No media team has been able to get near him for fourteen months, and in fact, most are shot on sight, making his story highly coveted.
‘In this near-future version of the US, it’s the American government versus the separatist Western Forces of Texas and California, versus the Florida Alliance, versus the New People’s Army (aka everyone else).’
