Plot
A congressman funds the mujahideen in Afghanistan.
Sinekatalog’s take
Mike Nichols's brisk comedy-drama follows a Texas congressman who helped arm Afghan fighters. Tom Hanks and Philip Seymour Hoffman give it life, and Aaron Sorkin's script is witty, if glib about aftermath.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
