Several films left the audience thinking deeply about them by the end. One such thought-provoking film could be Alex Garland’s upcoming directorial. In its new poster, Alex Garland’s upcoming film Civil War divides the citizens of the United States into factions, forcing them to choose sides.

California and Texas unite as one under the banner of the Western Forces, while Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and others in the vicinity make up the Florida Alliance. Spanning from Nevada to the East Coast with states like Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, Ohio, Maine, Vermont, and Rhode Island in the mix is the largest grouping, which will be referred to as the Loyalist States. Finally, much of the Pacific Northwest and areas including Utah, Minnesota, Montana, and more make up the New People’s Army.
The upcoming Civil War is a dystopian action film that follows a team of journalists who travel across the United States during a rapidly escalating Second American Civil War, which has engulfed the entire nation. The film had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 14, 2024. Following its premiere, the film garnered positive reviews with an average rating of 8.1/10 on Rotten Tomatoes.
