Good-Time Charlie" Wilson (Tom Hanks) is a Democratic Congressman from East Texas with a reputation for partying, drinking, and womanizing. When Afghanistan rebels fight back against the Soviet troop invasion in the 1980s, Wilson becomes the unlikely champion of the Afghan cause through his role in two major congressional committees that deal with foreign policy and covert operations. Julia Roberts plays the Houston socialite and conservative political activist Joanne Herring, who urges Wilson to help the rebels. Wilson's covert dealings with the rebels have some unforeseen and long-reaching effects, however. In this clip from the beginning of the movie, Charlie Wilson is at work in the Capital Building, on his way to chambers where he's about to cast a vote.
