102 minit 2007

What happens when a hard-partying, womanizing congressman from Texas decides to take on a superpower? That’s the improbable true story at the heart of the 2007 political drama Charlie Wilson's War. Tom Hanks stars as the charismatic Representative Charlie Wilson, who, with the help of a rogue CIA operative played by Philip Seymour Hoffman and a wealthy Houston socialite portrayed by Julia Roberts, orchestrates the largest covert operation in American history. Their unlikely alliance aims to supply Afghan mujahideen fighters with the weapons needed to repel the Soviet invasion, a daring gambit that changes the course of the Cold War. This sharp, witty film, blending comedy and thriller elements, explores the unpredictable nature of geopolitical power and the law of unintended consequences. It’s a masterclass in how a few determined individuals operating in the shadows can alter world events. Viewers should watch for its brilliant, Oscar-nominated script by Aaron Sorkin, which delivers rapid-fire dialogue and surprising humor amidst high-stakes intrigue. Charlie Wilson's War is a captivating and thought-provoking look at a bizarre chapter of history, proving that sometimes the most significant battles are fought not on the front lines, but in backroom deals and secret committee meetings.
