Alex Garland's upcoming movie appears more frightening than any of his previous science fiction films.

A24 has unveiled the initial trailer for the action-packed epic "Civil War," directed by Alex Garland and featuring a cast including Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Sonoya Mizuno, and Nick Offerman.

Set in the not-too-distant future, the movie unfolds against the backdrop of a civil war in the United States, where government air strikes target civilians, and journalists are targeted in the Capitol.

The official logline describes it as "a race to the White House in a near-future America balanced on the razor’s edge."

The trailer begins with glimpses of widespread destruction in the U.S., accompanied by news reports detailing the ongoing civil war. A radio reporter announces, "19 states have seceded."
