A Texas congressman sets a series of events in motion when he conspires with a CIA operative to aid Afghan mujahideen rebels fighting the Soviets.
Editor's Verdict
"While 'Charlie Wilson's War' had a December release, which is often associated with holiday films, the plot, setting, and themes are entirely focused on geopolitics, the Cold War, and the Soviet-Afghan War. Christmas is entirely incidental and carries no narrative weight."
