Based on George Crile's book about the CIA's largest and most successful covert CIA operation, the arming of the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan. The covert ops were engineered by Charlie Wilson (Hanks), a charismatic, wheeler-dealer, liberal Texas congressman who teamed with a rogue CIA operative (Hoffman). The two manipulated Congress, the CIA and a host of foreign governments in order to assist the Afghan rebels in their fight against the Soviets in the 1980s. Many of the men armed by the CIA went on to become the Taliban's enforcers and Osama bin Laden's protectors.

    I hope this will be good. Paramount Studios purchased a large lot of mini bottles from me for this movie and I hope to recognize some of them!

    This looks very great, and I think Tom Hanks is going to make quite a performence!

    It may have not turned out well down the road, but hindsight is 20/20 as they say. It does look pretty good. Hoffman and Hanks are both superb actors.

    It does have the soundtrack of a feel good movie, but loading a foreign nation's army with guns and ammo who later become our enemies is good why?
