‘Warfare’ Debuts in Theaters with Unflinching Depiction of Combat

The A24 film, co-directed by Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza, offers a real-time portrayal of a 2006 Navy SEAL mission in Iraq, with plans for PVOD and streaming releases to follow.

‘Warfare’ is based on the true events of a 2006 Navy SEAL mission in Ramadi, Iraq, reconstructed from firsthand accounts of those involved.
The film employs a real-time narrative format to authentically capture the rhythms and intensity of modern combat.
Co-director Ray Mendoza, a former Navy SEAL, dedicated the film to Elliott Miller, a critically injured soldier who lost memory of the mission.
The cast underwent intensive Navy SEAL training to ensure realistic portrayals, and the film avoids a traditional soundtrack, opting for raw battlefield sounds.
Currently playing in theaters, ‘Warfare’ will be available on PVOD in May and is set to stream on Max later this summer.
