Civil War is a 2024 dystopian thriller film[6] written and directed by British author Alex Garland, starring Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Sonoya Mizuno, and Nick Offerman. The plot follows a team of war journalists traveling from New York City to Washington, D.C. during a fictional civil war fought across the United States between an authoritarian federal government and several secessionist regional factions, to interview the President before rebels take the capital city.

Principal photography began in Atlanta, Georgia in 2022, with production moving to London later in the year. Civil War premiered at South by Southwest on March 14, 2024, and was theatrically released in the United States by A24 and in the United Kingdom by Entertainment Film Distributors on April 12, 2024. With a budget of $50 million, Civil War is A24's most expensive film to date.[2] The film has grossed over $121 million worldwide, becoming A24's second highest-grossing film, and received generally positive reviews from critics.
