Charlie Wilson's War
horizontal line

Smartly written, biting dialogue peppers this compelling, eye-opening, factually based political film in which high-rolling, partying, whiskey-slugging Texas congressman Charlie Wilson (Tom Hanks) teams up with a fearless CIA agent (Philip Seymour Hoffman) with an acerbic wit and a beautiful, Bible-thumping millionaire (Julia Roberts) to get congressional approval to fund a convert war that armed and trained Afghan rebels to defeat Russian military forces in the late 1980s, which proved to be the catalyst for the downfall of the Soviet Union.
