Despite heavy financial sacrifices on the part of their employees and record profits that year, the management of Perrin Industries decides to shut down a factory. The 1100 employees, led by their spokesman Laurent Amédéo, decide to fight this brutal decision, ready to do everything to save their jobs.

Stéphane Brizé and Vincent Lindon are fast becoming the Scorsese and De Niro of French social realist cinema. At War is a carefully crafted drama fronted by another sterling performance by Lindon.
