Synopsis
"Director John Frankenheimer's searing and insightful film tells the inside story of how "the best and the brightest" advisors in the Lyndon Johnson (Michael Gambon) administration counseled him in the decisions that led to America's deeper engagement in Vietnam. Defense Secretary Robert McNamara is portrayed by Alec Baldwin and Golden Globe-winning Donald Sutherland plays special advisor Clark Clifford." [Netflix]
This movie shows one of the painful steps in the transition from nationalism and militarism to world peace suffered by Vietnam and the United States during the war from 1965 to 1968. It is a careful and compassionate study of what the U.S. leaders endured during this period.
