Based on the true story of how Charlie Wilson, an alcoholic womanizer and Texas congressman, persuaded the CIA to train and arm resistance fighters in Afghanistan to fend off the Soviet Union. With the help of rogue CIA agent, Gust Avrakotos, the two men supplied money, training and a team of military experts that turned the ill-equipped Afghan freedom-fighters into a force that brought the Red Army to a stalemate. However, the result also empowered the Taliban and terrorists including Osama bin Laden. (Source)

A movie about Charles Wilson, a Texas politician which had help secretly fund the Afghans during Soviet-Afghan War. Through the trailer, Charlie (played by Tom Hanks) looks like he was quite a womanizer. Movie looks interesting so far.
