Two determined students at a West Coast university, Arian (Derek Luke) and Ernest (Michael Peña), at the urging of their idealistic professor, Dr. Malley (Redford), attempt to do something important with their lives. They make the bold decision to accept commissions as U.S. Army Officers to join the war in Afghanistan.
Dr. Malley also attempts to reach talented and privileged, but disaffected, student Todd Hayes (Andrew Garfield) who is not at all like Arian and Ernest. He is naturally bright, comes from a privileged background, but has apparently slipped into apathy upon being disillusioned at the present state of affairs. Now he devotes most of his time to his girlfriend and to his role as president of his fraternity. Malley tests him by offering a choice between a respectable grade of ‘B’ in the class with no additional work required, or a final opportunity to re-engage with the material of the class and “do something.”
Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., a charismatic Republican presidential hopeful, Senator Jasper Irving (Cruise), has invited TV journalist Janine Roth (Streep) to his office to announce a new war strategy in Afghanistan: the use of small units to seize strategic positions in the mountains (“forward operating points”) before the Taliban can occupy them. The senator hopes that Roth’s positive coverage will help convince the public that the plan is sound.
Roth has her doubts and does not wish to become an instrument of government propaganda. Near the end of the film, she confronts her commercially-minded boss for selling out. Ultimately Irving’s version of the story is run without the critical interaction and re-interpretation Roth wanted to see. It is not clear whether Roth gave in and toed the company policy or if she quit her job. Read more
