Based on George Crile's best-selling book, Charlie Wilson's War boasts three Oscar-winning actors (Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Philip Seymour Hoffman) and crack screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (The American President, TV’s The West Wing)—all under the helm of legendary director Mike Nichols. This high-powered team fires on all cylinders to tell the true story of how a literal “Good Time Charlie” congressman (Hanks), a powerful and beautiful Houston socialite (Roberts), and a street smart, rebellious CIA operative (Hoffman) come together—for very different reasons—to help oust the Soviets from Afghanistan. What resulted, to everyone’s surprise, was the largest and most successful covert operation in U.S. history—the effects of which are still being felt today.
