War Machine (2017) is a satirical war drama from director David Michôd that follows General Glen McMahon as the United States deploys troops to Afghanistan. The film chronicles his confident public rhetoric, escalating command chaos, and the widening gulf between strategic bravado and brutal battlefield reality. With mordant humor and sharp observations on politics, media spin, and leadership under pressure, it delivers a blistering, often darkly comic portrait of modern war.
