Liam Gaughan is a writer at Collider with a passion for classic films and the work of Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.
The Big Picture While his work generally falls within the category of “science fiction,” the stories and themes that writer/director Alex Garland has addressed throughout his career have been very prophetic. As a screenwriter, Garland addressed the perils of a global pandemic in his game-changing zombie flick 28 Days Later, examined the reality of a climate crisis with his space opera Sunshine, and addressed the state of police brutality with his revisionist superhero action film, Dredd.

Set in the not-so-distant future, Civil War imagines a version of America where the United States is in the midst of a massive terrain conflict.
Throughout their road trip adventure, the journalists are exposed to shocking displays of urban warfare between different military units. Although they are joined by the Hongkonger reporters Tony and Bohai in a refugee town on the route to Charlottesville, both of their colleagues are violently murdered by a military leader who refuses to tolerate anyone that isn’t an American.
While the journalists enter The White House, the rebel soldiers refuse to accept the attempts to surrender requested by the President’s guards, resulting in another set of violent firefights. After being nearly pinned down by enemy fire, Jessie is saved by Lee, who dies from a stray gunshot wound. Jessie manages to snap a photo of Lee moments before her demise, capturing the death of her “hero” in intimate detail.
