Cinematic depictions of military conflict have been common since the first crank of a shutter. From early films like The Birth of a Nation to recent entries The Hurt Locker and Dunkirk, the atrocities of war have never strayed far from the silver screen. Whether praised by critics or criticized by veterans who were there, war films play an integral part of our cultural understanding.

War Movie is a five-part documentary series that examines not only the history of war in American cinema, but how this medium has shaped our country's perspective on conflict, foreign policy, race, masculinity, and national identity.

The film includes such noted scholars as David LaRocca, Marita Sturken, David Kieran, Robert Burgoyne and Jonathan Rosenbaum.  Military Film advisors and veterans like Dale Dye, Kevin Kent, and Brian Turner also offer their perspectives in documentary.

War Movie is an outstanding resource for studies in:
• Film History
• American History 
• Military History, 
• American Cultural Studies.
