Warfare + Civil War

Alex Garland

Includes the screenplays for Civil War and Warfare, with an accompanying essay on screenwriting by Alex Garland.

Civil War is an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride through a near-future fractured America balanced on the razor's edge, starring Kirsten Dunst, Cailee Spaeny, Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson and Nick Offerman.

Written and directed by Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland, Warfare embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs in the home of an Iraqi family, overwatching the movement of US forces through insurgent territory. A visceral, boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare, told like never before: in real time and based on the memory of the people who lived it. Warfare will be released in cinemas in 2025.
