Plot Synopsis:
Academy Award winners Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Philip Seymour Hoffman star in this compelling and witty film from Oscar-winning director Mike Nichols and Primetime Emmy-winning writer Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing). Based on the outrageous true story, Charlie Wilson's War shows how one congressman (Hanks) who loved a good time, one Houston socialite (Roberts) who loved a good cause, and one renegade CIA agent (Hoffman) who loved a good fight, conspired to bring about the largest covert operation in history.
