A24’s Warfare promises a visceral look at modern combat.

A24 has unveiled Warfare, a gripping new war drama co-written and directed by Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza and acclaimed filmmaker Alex Garland (Civil War, 28 Days Later). The film offers an unflinching, real-time portrayal of a Navy SEAL platoon. They navigate the complexities of modern warfare. The film embeds viewers in the tense, high-stakes environment of their mission.

Set in the home of an Iraqi family, the story follows the SEALs as they overwatch the movements of U.S. forces through insurgent-held territory. Warfare draws from Mendoza’s personal experience. It also includes memories of those who lived through it. The aim is to deliver a raw and authentic depiction of combat’s psychological and physical toll.

The cast features a powerhouse ensemble.
