12/19/2007 (DE) • 1h 42m
A stiff drink. A little mascara. A lot of nerve. Who said they couldn't bring down the Soviet empire.

Charlie Wilson, Texas socialite Joanne Herring and CIA agent Gust Avrakotos form an unlikely alliance to boost funding for Afghan freedom fighters in their war against invading Soviets.
