  • Plot Summary

    This political drama features three different storylines centered around the war in Afghanistan. One story is about a Republican senator played by Tom Cruise, who hopes to recruit a news reporter, played by Meryl Streep, to spin favorable coverage on the government's new military strategy on the war on terror. Another story revolves around two soldiers who are implementing the senator's plan and caught in a life-and-death battle when the plan goes wrong. The final plotline concerns a discussion between a professor, played by Robert Redford, and the disaffected student he is trying to inspire. The three stories complement and inform each other to ultimately deliver a message of the importance of being engaged in the political process.The Hollywood Reporter.com: Lions for Lambs
