Synopsis: Former Texas congressman Charlie Wilson persuades the CIA to train and arm resistance fighters in Afghanistan, engineering a victory that hastens the fall of the Soviet Union. Wilson teams with a rogue CIA agent named Gust Avrakotos to keep the Red Army from overrunning Afghanistan. Wilson, an alcoholic womanizer known as Good Time Charlie, has a staff of former beauty pageant contestants known as "Charlie's Angels." At one point he nearly sees his career end because of a hot tub tryst with cocaine-sniffing showgirls in Vegas. But in Afghanistan Wilson finds an outlet to use his gift for maneuvering around red tape. He and Avrakotos supply money and put together a team of experts to mold an army that fights the Red Army to a stalemate.

Comment: Based on George Crile's book, 'Charlie Wilson's War'.
