Robert Redford, Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise deliver "three knockout performances" (Vue Weekly) in this powerful, provocative thriller that explores the consequences of taking a stand. An idealistic professor (Redford) in California attempts to inspire a student to do more with his life, while a charismatic Senator (Cruise) in Washington, D.C. pitches a new Middle East war strategy to a probing TV journalist (Streep). And halfway across the world, two of the professor's former students are trapped behind enemy lines in Afghanistan, fighting for freedom - and their very lives. As the tension mounts and the bullets fly, these Americans will change each other's live and the world in ways they never could have imagined....
