Bbc Storyville War Game (2024)

Sweeps viewers into an elaborate simulation which dramatically escalates the threat that was posed in the USA by the Capitol attack on 6th January 2021. The film follows a bipartisan group of US defence, intelligence and elected policymakers as they participate in an unscripted role-play exercise. A fictional president of the United States and his advisors 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.
