The first trailer for A24’s upcoming film Civil War was released on Wednesday.

The movie, scheduled to hit theaters April 26, 2024, depicts the United States falling into chaos and civil unrest.

Alex Garland, who wrote 28 Days Later and Ex Machina, wrote and directed the film.

“19 states have seceded. The United States Army ramps up activity,” the trailer opens, showing a desolate highway with stranded vehicles everywhere.

California and Texas are referred to as the “Western Forces” and there’s also a “Florida Alliance.”

In one scene, an individual on the radio says the three-term president will handle the uprising swiftly.

Another scene shows air strikes being conducted on American cities.

“There’s some kind of misunderstanding here. We’re American, okay,” a man says to another man holding a rifle in one scene.

“Okay. What kind of American are you?” the man with the rifle asks.

The trailer shows the tagline, “All Empires Fall.”

The trailer ends with a helicopter flying over a war-torn Washington D.C.

The Verge reports:

The next film from director Alex Garland looks like quite the action-packed dystopia. A24 just released the first trailer for Civil War, which is set in a near-future version of the US that is, as you can probably guess, in the midst of a violent civil war, with forces from Texas and California making their way to the White House. It’s hard to glean too many story details from the trailer, but it features a small group attempting to infiltrate a heavily fortified Washington, DC. It also features the tagline “all empires fall,” so you know things aren’t going so well.

Civil War stars Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, and Stephen McKinley Henderson, alongside Nick Offerman as the president and frequent Garland collaborator Sonoya Mizuno. Garland is coming off last year’s folk horror film Men, and his previous work includes Ex Machina, the FX series Devs, and an adaptation of Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation. On Civil War, he serves as both writer and director.

The film is due to hit theaters on April 26th.

Civil War is the latest movie that appears to show blatant, in-your-face predictive programming.

On Friday, Netflix began streaming Leave the World Behind, which describes a cyber apocalypse that renders commonly-used technology useless.

The movie, based on the 2020 novel of the same name by Rumaan Alam, listed Barack and Michelle Obama as producers on the film.
