Trama
La storia vera di Charlie Wilson, il deputato americano che negli anni '80 ha finanziato l'invio di armi ai mujahidin, per respingere l'invasione sovietica dell'Afghanistan. Amante di donne, alcol e cocaina, Wilson riuscì attraverso un'improbabile alleanza tra il Mossad israeliano, l'Egitto e il Pakistan a far avere alla resistenza afgana ciò di cui aveva più bisogno: armi e bazooka per abbattere gli elicotteri russi.
Non è il solito deputato. Non è il solito personaggio dell'alta società. Non è la solita spia.
