In any film beginning in wartime In Medias Res, it is almost taken for granted that a narration intoning opening text will describe the start of the war and provide a little history lesson... even if it's a fictional war. Opening narration / text crawl, often over a map, with drums or other fanfare. (This trope is big on drums.) Story begins In Medias Res... Usually, with an Action Prologue. Opting for an Action Prologue with narration on top, over stock footage of combat or Stuff Blowing Up may produce Narm: People don't generally like to mix their opening crawl with their Opening Action Sequence. However, one may immediately cut to combat scenes In Medias Res as soon as the narration ends; indeed, it's almost expected, to the point where you can throw people off (but not really) with quiet scenes set in a better time/place, if you're seeking a slow build: Cut to a quiet scene in Arcadia; the hero will learn of the impending war about to wreck his world by way of a Herald, such as a wounded relative; see Bearer of Bad News, Harbinger of Impending Doom. Or the hero may turn out to be tragically related to the prosecution of the war somehow, such as: a family member started it, or got killed in the initial attack. This opening narration requirement can be removed if, as often the case, the writer decides on one of the alternatives, such as: Show how the future protagonists react to the start of the war, in a "where were you when"... way. This is a useful way to introduce the future protagonists to the audience one after the other — a Debut Queue. Depict the events leading up to the start of the war, even if it happened years before the main story. This will be done in an Opening Action Sequence involving Stuff Blowing Up, possibly Earth. If it's a war everyone's heard of, the audience viewpoint character is simply informed that a war is on, averting this trope. Not as common as the others, due to Small Reference Pools: World War II movies filmed during the war rarely opened with a War Was Beginning recap. Use a newspaper headline. While it obviates the characters from invoking As You Know when it's a war "everyone's heard of",note not so much when it's a fictional war, allegory or not, the headlines themselves are usually anachronistic from an in-universe perspective. e.g. "World War II Begins," or worse, "World War One Begins," as if people back then knew it would be the first of two.note Some did use the term First World War at the time, not in the sense of predicting a second one, but rather to say that it was the first time the whole world had ever experienced such an all-encompassing conflict. Not to be confused with During the War. See also Opening Scroll. |

Valkyria Chronicles III combines this with And Now for Someone Completely Different. The intro movie (which is actually in the style of a war documentary) tells of the story of Gallian War and the decorated hero that saved the nation, before turning away from them and into the unrecorded chronicles of The Nameless. | |

The Outer Limits (1995): "Starcrossed" begins with the following narration from Michael Ryan: "In the year 2050, Earth was invaded by a humanoid race called the Hing. For six years, a hard and reigning war was fought. At its conclusion, we were forced to agree that the Hing retain the control they had already won. It wasn't an easy truce, especially in a city called Archangel." | |

Howl's Moving Castle may be an example. There is no narration explicitly telling us that war is coming, but soon after the opening of the film we see a big parade of troops, tanks, and flying machines moving through the city to cheering crowds, and we overhear conversations on the street about rising tensions with a neighbouring kingdom over a missing prince. | |

The first Horatio Hornblower TV film took place at the Royal Navy anchorage in Spithead, with the midshipmen discussing the ongoing revolution in France. In particular, the fact that King Louis XVI had just been captured. Rather an ignorant thing for an Englishman to say, given that England had executed its king less than one hundred and fifty years before the French Revolution. note And eventually ended up giving his heir the throne back, so maybe the middie wasn't speaking literally. |

Star Trek: Voyager began with an Opening Scroll briefly detailing the Maquis guerrilla war against the Federation and Cardassians, then cut to Chakotay's ship, involved in a running lightfight with a Cardassian destroyer. The whole sequence looks like a Shout-Out to A New Hope, except Chakotay's ship escapes. Then it gets hurled to the other side of the galaxy, where the war becomes completely irrelevant except as backstory. | |
