Lions for Lambs

Description

Two U.S. soldiers fighting in Afghanistan, trapped and outnumbered in a firefight, wait and hope for rescue, while the Senator who was the architect of their battle plan is primarily interested in bolstering his re-election bid. The reporter interviewing the Senator would rather prove the war is evil, while the soldiers' professor uses them as an example of lives well lived—unaware that his two former students could be losing their lives at that very moment.
