During the American Civil War, two soldiers, one fighting for the North, one for the South, are stranded in the Sonoran Desert after a battle near Tucson. They must learn to survive together and face the dangers of the elements, unrelenting thirst, Apaches, each other's beliefs and bigotries, and ultimately, their own inner demons. Their fight for survival takes some surprising turns, and their story becomes a timeless parable about what unites us and divides us even to the present day.

Kenneth R. Morefield 1More Film Blog The film could be construed as saying that because representatives of both sides are flawed, the sides themselves are morally equivalent. Rated: 2/4 Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Kristy Strouse Film Inquiry It may not break the wheel but it sure spins it. Watch The War Between for its beautiful landscapes, the emotional journey on screen and to appreciate the talented female eye in an overtly male genre. Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Joshua Polanski D Movies The real-life stakes of the Civil War – enslavement – are minimised for a morally questionable pitch for bipartisanship and interpersonal harmony. Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Joe Muldoon Battle Royale With Cheese The War Between is a fresh perspective on the true, hidden, oft-forgotten cost of the American Civil War, a tribute to those who —literally and figuratively— found themselves in the crossfire. Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Pramit Chatterjee Film Fugitives I don’t know if this movie, directed by Deborah Correa and written by Ron Yungul, will revolutionize the western genre and impact the current socio-political climate in a positive way, but I think it ought to. Rated: 4/5 Aug 30, 2025 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed The story is slow moving and made for a very specific audience that should love it. Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
