{{Northern Ireland Parliament constituency infobox|
An '''anti-war film''' is a [[film]] that emphasizes the pain, horror, and human costs of armed conflict. While some films criticize armed conflicts in a general sense, others focus on acts within a specific war, such as the use of poison gas or the killing of civilians (e.g., ''[[Hotel Rwanda]]'' (2004)). Some [[anti-war]] films such as ''[[Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb]]'' (1964) use [[parody]] and [[black comedy]] to [[satire|satirize]] wars and conflicts. An anti-war film's goal is to show the physical and psychological destruction warfare causes not just to the soldiers, but to innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.
