In Jesse Moss and Tony Gerber’s documentary “War Game,” the directing duo map out what America’s next coup d’état might look like.
The 94-minute docu takes place on Jan. 6, 2025 – four years after the 2021 Capitol insurrection. Moss and Gerber chronicle an elaborate simulation that dramatically escalates the threat posed by the recent insurrection and re-imagines a nation-wide insurrection in which members of the U.S. military defect to support the losing presidential candidate, while the winning candidate and his advisors war game the crisis in a makeshift White House situation room. The film follows a bipartisan group of U.S. defense, intelligence, and elected policymakers spanning five presidential administrations as they participate in a six hour, unscripted role-play exercise meant to save democracy as America teeters on the brink of civil war.
