War Book Trailer

Nine people from different walks of life who all work for the government are enlisted to take part in a 'scenario' based on decision-making in the event of a nuclear assault. They are given the notice that a nuclear warhead has been detonated in Mumbai, with deaths entering hundreds of thousands, and asked to make a decision on what to do next. It doesn't take long for Gary the 'Prime Minister' to plan a course of action and have his cabinet members vote for it, and when some of the group question whether or not they should be rushing decisions that could affect the lives of millions, it becomes clear that this task is one that some people are happy to take on with a pinch of salt. However, two people in the group understand that this isn't really a fake scenerio at all; it's very, very real and they have to put their social differences aside in order to come to the best course of action.

'War Book' is a British thriller director by the BAFTA nominated Tom Harper ('The Scouting Book for Boys', 'The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death') and written by Jack Thorne ('The Fades', 'A Long Way Down', 'Glue'). It is set to appear in UK cinemas from August 7th - 9th 2015, before hitting the small screen on August 10th 2015 on BBC Four.
