The battle of the blockbusters is raging. Since the start of 2024, a large number of equally good and successful films have already been released in cinemas. This ranges from the record hunter Dune 2 to the also very successful animated adventure Kung Fu Panda 4 to the colossal Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. At times, this trio fought thrilling battles for the top spot in the cinema charts. But none of these films are there anymore, but rather a real surprise hit.
What is Civil War about?
As the name suggests, it rotates Civil War all about a civil war in the USA. However, this is not the case the historical event from the 19th century meant, but the focus is on a fictitious scenario of the near future. The US military is fighting against forces from California and Texas, who are even threatening to To take Washington, DC. In the middle of this chaos, war correspondent Lee Smith (played by Kirsten Dunst) tries to document what is happening. The film was directed by Alex Garland, who has also directed films like Annihilation. His latest work, Civil War, has been very well received by cinemagoers.
