As the name suggests, Leave The World Behind is a fictional drama that portrays the end of America after its rival countries join hands to destabilize the most powerful country in the world. Since you have landed on this page, True Scoop News assumes that you have watched Leave The World Behind on Netflix and have multiple questions related to the movie especially the list of countries that attacked the USA especially New York City and Rhode Island. Below is everything you need to know-
Which countries attacked the USA in Leave The World Behind?
The answer is the USA's enemies. In the movie, the characters speculate that countries like Iran, China, Russia, and South Korea have joined hands and attacked the USA through hacking as well as by bombing.
In the movie, G.H. comes to the conclusion after connecting the dots regarding his last conversation with his primary client, who works in the defense sector, shortly before the breakdown started two nights earlier, as the client told him to "take care of himself" after asking for a lot of money to be moved around.
GH and Clay (Ethan Hawke) during their discussion with conspiracy theorist neighbor Danny (Kevin Bacon) to try and get medicine to help with Archie's (Charlie Evans) infection, have a conversation in the car. G.H. explains what he thinks is happening: a foreign attack. He even lays down the three-point strategy for destabilizing countries (disabling information and transportation, spreading misinformation, and, finally, a coup d'état after people turn on one another).
Now, for those wondering why a herd of deer, flamingos, and even birds were seen acting strangely, the answer is a cyberattack. In the movie, it has shown that the animals change their migration pattern after a change in world order. In this case, the US is crippled with cyber attacks and no satellites have been working.
The movie starts with Amanda enjoying holidays with her family in Rhode Island.
