Based on the true story of how Charlie Wilson, an alcoholic womanizer and Texas congressman, persuaded the CIA to train and arm resistance fighters in Afghanistan to fend off the Soviet Union. With the help of rogue CIA agent, Gust Avrakotos, the two men supplied money, training and a team of military experts that turned the ill-equipped Afghan freedom-fighters into a force that brought the Red Army to a stalemate and set the stage for conflicts in the Middle East that still rage to this day.

| • Movie Trivia
|
• A special effects assistant received critical injuries due to a handheld mock-up of a stinger missile exploding as it was being prepared to be used in a scene aboard a helicopter.
• A vintage Miss Texas photo of Mary Nell Hubbard (1958) was used for a scene in the movie because Julia Roberts plays a former beauty queen. Hubbard wouldn't take payment for the photo she provided. She privately joked, "I've gone from a headline to an archive to an artifact," and her daughter gently teased her that she is a body double for Julia Roberts.
• Towards the end of the movie Charlie Wilson is presented with one of the Stingers he helped provide to the Afghanistans. In an interview with the real Charlie Wilson, Wilson states that he still has the Stinger as it's one of his most prized possessions and it's kept in "a very honored spot in my home."
• Though recuperating from heart transplant surgery, the real Charlie Wilson made it to the red carpet premiere of the film.
• Charlie Wilson said in a USA Today article that he had no qualms about the film saying, "Anything I might have objected to was provable".
