Sam Worthing is an actor who played an important role in Terminator : Salvation. In this film he does the role of a man on death row for murder who donated his body to Cyberdyne Systems for experimentation. In my opinion he plays a very important role in the movie.So no wonder of him being placed in the poster.
Also if you take a look at the imdb.com/title/tt0438488/ IMDB page you can see Sam Worthing's name appears before Bryce Dallas Howard's which means he is nearly equal to the hero of the movie.I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
