A
pitch-black war story for our times, writer-director David Michôd (Animal
Kingdom) recreates a U.S. General’s roller-coaster rise and fall as part
reality, part savage parody – raising the specter of just where the line
between them lies today. His is an absurdist look at a born leader’s
ultra-confident march right into the dark heart of folly. At the story’s core
is Brad Pitt’s sly take on one of the most polarizing war figures of a
generation: successful, charismatic four-star General Stanley McChrystal, who
leapt in like a rock star to command NATO forces in Afghanistan, only to be
taken down by a journalist’s no-holds-barred exposé.
The
Netflix original film is based on the book The Operators: The Wild &
Terrifying Inside Story of America’s War in Afghanistan by the late journalist
Michael Hastings. Joining Pitt in War Machine is a highly decorated cast
including Tilda Swinton, Sir Ben Kingsley, Anthony Michael Hall, Topher Grace,
Will Poulter, Lakeith Stanfield, Emory Cohen, John Magaro, RJ Cyler, Alan Ruck,
Scoot McNairy and Meg Tilly.
Ian
Bryce and Plan B’s Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner and Brad Pitt serve as
producers. James Skotchdopole serves as executive producer.
War
Machine premieres on the streaming giant on May 26.
