What is the “Civil War” about?

Set in a not too distant future, Civil War notes that the former USA is divided into four factions.

However, the film focuses almost entirely on the struggle between the loyalist states – which cover a vast area in the center of the former United States, including Washington, DC – and the separatist Western powers, which, oddly enough, consist of one blue state, California, and one red state, Texas.

Kirsten Dunst plays veteran war photojournalist Lee Smith, who travels on a dangerous journey from New York to Washington, DC with young photographer Jessie (Cailee Spaeny) and experienced reporters Joel (Wagner Moura) and Sammy (Stephen McKinley Henderson).
