Description
The War Game is a fictional, worst-case-scenario docu-drama about nuclear war and its aftermath in and around a typical English city. Although it won an Oscar for Best Documentary, it is fiction. It was intended as an hour-long program to air on BBC 1, but it was deemed too intense and violent to broadcast. It went to theatrical distribution as a feature film instead. Low-budget and shot on location, it strives for and achieves convincing and unflinching realism.

Absolutely riveting and somewhat revolting. This is not a movie for your viewing amusement or pleasure. This is a very stark documentary put together by the BBC dramatizing the fictional outcome of a nuclear attack on a typical English community. This worst-case-scenario is very graphic and disturbing; and after over forty years since its origin, this docu-drama still holds some pertinence and re-awakens the sensibilities coming with a nuclear attack. The shock value is still there. THE WAR GAME is directed and written by the acclaimed Peter Watkins with Michael Aspel and Peter Graham as commentators.
