About War Machine

War Machine is a 2026 military science fiction action film directed, co-produced, and co-written by Patrick Hughes. It stars Alan Ritchson, Dennis Quaid, Stephan James, Jai Courtney, Esai Morales, Keiynan Lonsdale, and Daniel Webber. In the film, a staff sergeant encounters an otherworldly killing machine while on a grueling training exercise. The film was given a very limited theatrical release in Australia starting on 12 February 2026, before releasing on Netflix on March 6, 2026. The film received mixed reviews from critics, praising it as a fun, old-school, throwback action movie despite its familiar, formulaic storyline. A sequel is in development. It is the 9th most watched Netflix film of all time. At the 2026 Screen Music Awards, music by Dmitri Golovko was nominated for Best Feature Film Score of the Year.
