The War Game 2-Disc Set 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray presents Peter Watkins’ landmark nuclear docudrama, now restored in 4K with extensive special features.

Blending documentary realism with dramatized reconstruction, the film depicts the devastating consequences of a nuclear attack on Great Britain. Using non-professional actors, direct references to civil defense materials, and a newsreel style, Watkins creates a harrowing and unflinching portrayal of societal collapse.

Originally deemed too disturbing for broadcast, The War Game went on to win the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and remains one of the most powerful anti-nuclear films ever made.
