War Machine

War Machine is a 2017 satirical war comedy film starring Brad Pitt as General Glen McMahon, a four-star general sent to Afghanistan to prepare a strategic assessment for the government's end-of-war plan. Based on the nonfiction book The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America's War in Afghanistan by Michael Hastings, the film follows McMahon and his staff as they navigate the complexities of modern war, including massive voter fraud, diplomatic intrigue, and public backlash. As tensions rise between McMahon and President Obama, McMahon takes matters into his own hands, secretly leaking a report to The Washington Post and refusing to back down despite the consequences.
