Summary: Daniel Ellsberg, a hawkish analyst for the Rand Corporation think-tank and later for the U.S. government, supports the war in Vietnam until two powerful occurrences: the experience, first-hand, of combat and political turmoil in Vietnam, and the discovery of secret Defense Department documents detailing the deliberate fabrication of reasons to initiate and expand the war. Facing a crisis of conscience, Ellsberg becomes convinced that the American people have not been told the truth about the war, its justifications, or its likely outcome.(imdb)

Competent, well-researched reminder of the reality of foreign policy and the avarice of government. An interest of some sort in the history of the Vietnam war is probably a requirement in order to feel truly engaged, as the dramatization is pretty run-of-the-mill. Although, I suppose an interest in either Claire Forlani or James Spader might substitute. Spader is particularly good in the lead role.
