Warfare is a 2025 war film written and directed by Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland. Based on Mendoza's experiences during the Iraq War as a U.S. Navy SEAL, the film depicts an encounter on November 19th, 2006 after the Battle of Ramadi. The script is drawn from the testimonies of the platoon members and is presented in real time. It stars an ensemble cast including D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai as Mendoza, alongside Will Poulter, Cosmo Jarvis, Kit Connor, Finn Bennett, Joseph Quinn, Noah Centineo, and Charles Melton. The film is dedicated to platoon member Elliott Miller (portrayed by Jarvis in the film), who lost his leg and ability to speak in the incident.
