Tom Hanks plays the fast and loose Texas congressman who champions the covert support for Afghan resistance fighters during the Soviet occupation. A probably too realistic view into how many funding decisions are made in congress highlights that the ego's involved are huge. And while they are subtly portrayed, it is also clear how manipulative the entire legislative process can be based on the power of individuals. And how quickly individual power can rise and fall. Tom Hanks is able to show that Wilson is troubled entirely through body language since his position and personality would never allow an explicit admission of his demons. And while we don't know exactly what the demons are, it is clear that they exist.
