The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Civil War

Events follow a team of military-embedded journalists, as they journey across a dystopian near-future America in a race against time to reach DC before rebel factions descend upon the White House.

An adrenaline-fuelled thrill ride from writer/director Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation, 28 Days Later), Civil War is a gripping close-up look at the violent uncertainty of life in a fractured nation in crisis. Starring Kirsten Dunst (The Virgin Suicides, The Power of the Dog), Jesse Plemons (Killers of the Flower Moon, I'm Thinking of Ending Things), Nick Offerman (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, Smashed) and Sonoya Mizuno (Ex Machina).
