Netflix Presents Full Trailer for 'War Machine' Starring Brad Pitt

The war film from director David Michôd will hit Netflix in May.  

Following an initial teaser, Netflix has released a full trailer for its latest original film, War Machine. The movie stars Brad Pitt and is set to start streaming exclusively through Netflix on May 26.

In a film 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 anti-establishment, pro-soldier exploration in the form of an absurdist war story of 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 a successful, charismatic four-star general who leapt in like a rock star to command NATO forces in Afghanistan, only to be taken down by his own hubris and a journalist’s no-holds-barred expose. War Machine addresses the debt we owe to soldiers to question the purposes to which they are being directed.

The movie is inspired by the book "The Operators: The Wild & Terrifying Inside Story of America's War in Afghanistan" by the late journalist Michael Hastings.
