War Plot Summary
What happens in War from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
The film opens with the compelling and ominous narration of Morgan Freeman, who reflects on a time when humanity was blissfully unaware of the powerful forces watching and waiting. The statement captures the audience’s attention with the line, > “No one would have believed in the early years of the 21st century that our world was being watched by intelligence greater than our own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns, they observed and studied, the way a man with a microscope might scrutinize the creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.”
