"La bombe: 1967. La guerre froide. Peter Watkins imagine que par suite d'incidents à Berlin, l'escalade dans les " ripostes " entre les deux puissances aboutit à une attaque atomique russe sur l'Angleterre. Les milliers de victimes, la ridicule insuffisance des mesures de protection prévues pour les civils, la détresse des survivants, le retour à la barbarie face à la pénurie, tout est montré dans le style des actualités, en s'appuyant sur ce qui s'était passé à Nagasaki et Hiroshima. -- Culloden: Culloden, en Ecosse, 1746. Les soldats anglais affrontent les paysans fatigués, mal armés, des clans des Highlands. La bataille tourne au massacre, plus de 1000 écossais sont tués, au moins autant seront abattus pendant la chasse à l'homme qui suit. La culture des clans s'est effondrée pour toujours."
"Presents scenarios of what might happen to Great Britain and the British people in the event of a nuclear attack. (1966-England) The stark reality of nuclear war, told by simulated newsreels and interviews."
"The film postulates a day when diplomacy fails, nations are backed into corners and bluffs are called. The grim effects of a nuclear attack between the Soviet Union and England are depicted in horrifying detail, based on information supplied by experts in nuclear defense, economics and medicine. The cinéma vérité technique employing man-on-the-street interviews, on-location shooting with amateur actors and hand-held camera, lends the authentic quality of a newsreel and heightens the film's powerful impact."

"This film presents a vision of the possible consequences of a nuclear attack on Great Britain. Filming in locations in Kent, England, director Peter Watkins used a cast composed of locally recruited amateurs, an approach that he would use repeatedly throughout his career. The War Game is dramatized fiction in the form of a television documentary, employing on the spot interviews and footage of "actual" events. The film provides the viewer with images of the firestorm that follows the initial nuclear attack, as well as the psychological effects on the survivors. Because The War Game eliminates any notion that a viewer might have that his government might be able to protect him from the consequences of nuclear war, the message of the film is immediately subversive. The net effect of Watkins' documentary is that it destroys any pretense that their can be a positive outcome to a nuclear conflict. Even though it had funded Watkins' documentary, the BBC quickly decided that the film was too inflammatory to be broadcast on British television, and as a result it became one of the most controversial films ever produced on the subject of nuclear warfare.

"A drama documentary made for BBC TV in 1965 about a 'limited' nuclear attack on Kent, England. Blending fiction and fact to create a moving and startling vision of the personal as well as the public consequences of such an attack, Watkins exposes the inadequacy of the nation's Civil Defence programme and questions the philosophy of the nuclear deterrent."
"Drama documentary that was made for the BBC, about a "limited" nuclear attack on Kent; it blends fact and faction to create startling images of the consequences of such an attack. Causing massive controversy at the time, it remained unshown until 1985."

"Classic film which opened the eyes of many to the reality of a nuclear war. Simulates the aftereffects of a nuclear attack on Great Britain, based on information supplied by experts in nuclear defense, economics, and medicine. The use of man in the street interviews, location shooting with handheld cameras and amateur actors resulted in a film of such impact the the BBC refused to broadcast it."

"This film presents a vision of the possible consequences of a nuclear attack of Great Britain. Made on various locations in Kent and using a cast entirely composed of locally recruited amateurs, the film's style is basically that of a television documentary, with on-the-spot interviews and rough, seemingly spontaneous shooting of "actual" events. When it was completed the BBC decided that it was too horrifying to show on television and as a result it became one of the most controversial films of recent years. It is certainly an uncompromising and convincing portrait of the horrors of nuclear war. Awards: Academy award; British Film Academy Award."@en
