WAR MACHINE

Four-star General Stanley McChrystal had a meteoric rise and fall in his 34-year career in the United States Army. General McChrystal assumed command of allied forces in Afghanistan in 2009, only to be called back and fired a year later by President Obama in response to an unflattering profile in Rolling Stone magazine. War Machine is a thinly-veiled black comedy based on General McChrystal and his time in Afghanistan, with Brad Pitt in the leading role. Also starring Tilda Swinton and Sir Ben Kingsley, the film comes to Netflix May 26, 2017.
