The story takes place on three equally tense and emotional fronts, each with considerable personal stakes. In a Congressional office, Presidential hopeful Senator Jasper Irving (Tom Cruise) is about to give a bombshell of a story about a new war strategy to a probing TV journalist (Meryl Streep), as the two carry out a fierce cat-and-mouse game of wit, charm and evasion. At a West Coast University, a once idealistic professor, Dr. Malley (Robert Redford) confronts a privileged but blasé student (Andrew Garfield) in need of fire and in danger of never fulfilling his enormous potential. Meanwhile, across the globe, in the heat of battle in Afghanistan, two of Dr. Malley’s former students, Arian (Derek Luke) and Ernest (Michael Peña), lay bare the debates and arguments of mentors and politicians in a stark fight for sheer survival, the heart wrenching consequences of which will reverberate through all of their lives.
