Trailer for ‘War Game’ Releases on the Eve of First Presidential Debate

As the political sphere is gearing up for the first Presidential debate of the 2024 election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, Submarine Deluxe has released the trailer for War Game, a documentary that maps out what the next post-election January 6 could look like. Jesse Moss and Tony Gerber wrote and directed the movie, with Moss, Todd Lubin, Jack Turner, Mark DiCristofaro, Warren Littlefield, Jonathan E. Steinberg, and Dan Shotz producing.

Here is the plot synopsis:

“War Game sweeps audiences into an elaborate future-set simulation that dramatically escalates the threat posed by the January 6, 2021 insurrection. The film follows a bipartisan group of US defense, intelligence, and elected policymakers spanning five presidential administrations as they participate in an unscripted role-play exercise. Portraying a fictional President of the United States and his advisors, they confront a political coup backed by rogue members of the US military in the wake of a contested 2024 presidential election. Like actors in a thriller, but with profound real-world stakes, the players have only six hours to save American democracy.”

Check out the full trailer below and see the movie in select theatres on August 2, with more markets available on August 9:
