About The Wargame
The Wargame takes viewers beyond the news cycle and behind closed doors into a sealed COBR-style crisis room where real-world senior politicians, military leaders and intelligence chiefs are challenged to confront a high-stakes scenario: a Russian attack on UK soil.
Set six months in the future, this gripping simulation has been developed in conjunction with leading academics, military and defence experts, including Sky News' Security and Defence Editor Deborah Haynes, to replicate the pressure of political decision-making at the highest level.
Rolling news bulletins, social media footage, military and intelligence reports and unexpected interventions throw up a series of minute-by-minute dilemmas, forcing the ‘Cabinet' to grapple with decisions that could affect us all. A provocative stress test on our leaders, our institutions and the country itself, this unmissable event television will prompt us all to engage with our new geopolitical reality.
