A War, directed by Tobias Lindholm, follows a Danish army company stationed in Afghanistan, where a decision protects soldiers but risks civilians. As a deadly incident unfolds, the commander must justify orders under media glare and legal scrutiny back home. The film alternates between the front lines and the courtroom, exposing how fear, loyalty, and duty collide under pressure. A disciplined, morally probing war drama about responsibility and the price of leadership.
