CHARLIE WILSONS WAR

 

Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Philip Seymour Hoffman
Universal Pictures; Directed by Mike Nichols

This film is based on the true story of Charlie Wilson, an alcoholic womanizer and Texas congressman, who persuaded the CIA to train and arm resistance fighters in Afghanistan to fend off the Soviet Union. This effort was a success but the unintended result was an emboldened and empowered Taliban that still impacts the world to this day.
