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 and set the stage for conflicts in the Middle East that still rage to this day.

Comment: Its a real story and its too real, the movie is present with good dose of reality and the booze and woman line of the story does make me want to be him .... however, this movie appeal to the Asian crowd may be unfair as , no one know who is Charlie Wilson is. However, this movie does deserve to be watched.
