Original motion picture soundtrack to the 2007 film, composed by James Newton Howard. Charlie Wilson's War is the true story of how a playboy congressman, a renegade CIA agent and a beautiful Houston socialite joined forces to lead the largest and most successful covert operation in history. Their efforts contributed to the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, with consequences that reverberate throughout the world today. Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Philip Seymour Hoffman team with director Mike Nichols and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin to bring George Crile's best-selling book to the screen.
