Like Thirteen days, this political drama concerns itself with the build-up to a potential war - in this case, what turned into the Vietnam War. Michael Gambon plays President Lyndon Johnson, Alec Baldwin Secretary of Defence McNamara and Donald Sutherland advisor Clark Clifford in this heavy-going but thorough insight into tough White House decisions. Philip Baker Hall, James Frain and Bruce McGill co-star.
