Lions for Lambs

“If you don't STAND for something, you might FALL for anything.”

Senator Jasper Irving (Tom Cruise), a presidential hopeful, wants one television reporter to carry his plan for victory in Afghanistan to the public. Robert Redford runs three stories side by side in ninety minutes of real time. The senator gives his interview, two special forces soldiers wait on an Afghan ridge as Taliban forces close in, and a professor tries to bring a student back.
