The film is the story about how a Texas Congressman, Charlie Wilson, conspired with the CIA to assist the Afghans fight the Soviets after their 1980 invasion of Afghanistan. Tom Hanks plays against type as Charlie Wilson, the playboy Texas Congressman. Julia Roberts plays a socialite, and Phillip Seymour-Hoffman plays the CIA operative.
