The West Newton Cinema will be screening War Game with an After Screening Panel. It will take place on Tuesday, October 29, 6:30PM at the West Newton Cinema (1296 Washington St, West Newton). Tickets are $20.
War Game immerses audiences in a high-stakes future-set simulation, exploring the threat posed by political instability and disinformation in the aftermath of a contested 2024 presidential election. The film follows a bipartisan group of U.S. defense, intelligence, and political figures, spanning five presidential administrations, as they participate in a real-time role-playing exercise to avert a political coup backed by rogue military forces. In just six hours, the group must navigate the complexities of preserving American democracy. A gripping wake-up call, War Game underscores the critical importance of bipartisan efforts to safeguard democratic institutions in the face of growing internal threats.
