NEAL CONAN, host:
"Charlie Wilson's War" opened in theaters around the country this past weekend. The movie tells the improbable story of a congressman from Texas best known for his fondness for women, whisky and maybe the occasional recreational drug.
He takes up the cause of the Afghan Mujahideen after two important events: the brutal invasion of that country by the Soviet Union in late 1979 and his meeting with Joanne Herring, an enormously attractive anti-Communist crusader.
Charlie Wilson is played by Tom Hanks; Joanne Herring by Julia Roberts.
