"Afganistan'daki Sovyet işgali sırasında komünizme karşı direnen örgütlere gizli yollardan silah ve finans desteği sağlayan Teksas'lı kongre üyesi Charlie Wilson'un gerçek yaşam öyküsü."
""Au début des années 80, le délégué du Deuxième District du Texas Charlie Wilson était surtout connu à Washington comme un noceur et un bon vivant accumulant conquêtes et scandales. Mais sa personnalité flamboyante dissimulait un sens politique aigu, une solide connaissance de la scène internationale, un patriotisme à toute épreuve et un attachement viscéral aux causes qu'on dit perdues. L'Afghanistan serait son plus beau combat... Charlie avait parmi ses relations la richissime Joanne Herring, anticommuniste fervente qui visait rien moins que la chute de l'empire soviétique. Trouvant trop timide la réaction américaine à l'invasion de l'Afghanistan, elle persuada Wilson de la nécessité de porter secours aux Moudjahidin. Charlie enrôla pour cette mission l'agent de la CIA Gust Avrakotos, un battant d'origine modeste snobé par la hiérarchie et qui brûlait d'en découdre avec les Russes. Usant de charme et de diplomatie, Charlie, Joanne et Gust réussirent à nouer la plus improbable des alliances secrètes entre le Pakistan, Israël et l'Égypte, et à motiver la commission de la Défense pour allouer les fonds nécessaires et faire parvenir aux Combattants de la Liberté les armes qui leur permettraient de lutter contre l'envahisseur..."--Site Allociné, consulté le 26 mai 2015."
"Feature film from the USA. Biography / drama. Depicts Texas congressman Charlie Wilson's covert dealings in Soviet occupied Afghanistan in the 1980s."
"La jaquette indique : "Cette incroyable histoire mais vraie met en scène un député excentrique et amoureux des petits plaisirs de la vie, une mondaine richissime, fervente anti-communiste, et un agent de la CIA expert en conspiration. Ensemble, ils vont mettre sur pied la plus grande opération secrète de l'Histoire.""
"In the early 1980s, Charlie Wilson was best known as a womanizing US congressional representative from Texas. He seemed to be in the minor leagues, except for the fact that he was a member of two major foreign policy and covert-ops committees. However, once Charlie is prodded by his major conservative supporter, Joanne Herring, Wilson learns about the plight of the people who are suffering from the effects of the brutal Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. With the help of a maverick CIA agent, Gust Avrakotos, Wilson dedicates his canny political efforts to supply the Afghan mujahideen with the weapons and support needed to defeat the Soviet Union. Ultimately, Charlie learns that while military victory can be obtained, there are other consequences and prices to that fight that are ignored to everyone's sorrow. Based on a true story."

"A congressman, a socialite and a renegade CIA agent team up to pull off the largest covert operation in history."@en
"Produced by Tom Hanks, written by Aaron Sorkin, and directed by Mike Nichols, this adaptation of George Crile III's incendiary bestseller tells the remarkable story of the Texas congressman whose efforts to prevent the Red Army from overtaking Afghanistan eventually led to the collapse of the Soviet Union while simultaneously fueling the rise of radical Islam. In the early 1980s, a hastily assembled army of Afghan "freedom fighters" achieved the remarkable feat of fending off Soviet invaders despite the fact that the odds were overwhelmingly stacked against them. At the time, Texas congressman Charlie Wilson (Hanks) was a key member of the hugely powerful House Appropriations Committee. Illuminated to the specifics of this remarkable war by a high-profile Houston socialite, Wilson spearheaded an effort to provide hundreds of millions of dollars in weapons and training to the Mujahideen with more than a little help from brilliant but prickly CIA operative Gust Avrokotos."@en

"A drama based on a Texas congressman Charlie Wilson's covert dealings in Afghanistan, where his efforts to assist rebels in their war with the Soviets have some unforeseen and long-reaching effects."
""Représentant au Congrès et membre d'un sous-comité qui finance les opérations secrètes de la CIA, le Texan Charlie Wilson est perturbé par le sort misérable des Afghans, qui combattent à armes inégales contre l'envahisseur soviétique. Presque au même moment, un bouillant agent secret, Gust Avrakotos, ainsi qu'une ex-maîtresse dévote, Joanne Herring, implorent son aide afin qu'il fasse décupler le fonds d'aide militaire américaine au moudjahid en déroute. S'amorce pour ce viveur une joute politique brillante, qui culmine sur la défaite des Soviétiques en Afghanistan et laisse augurer la fin prochaine de la Guerre Froide." [(c) Médiafilm]."
