Having prestigious Robert Redford as a director, lead actor and
producer, the movie “Lions for Lambs” treats the hot topic of America
politics about war inside and outside the country.
Based on a screenplay written by Matthew Michael Carnahan who is
familiar with the topic of conventional terrorism from his previous script for
“The Kingdom”, the movie pictures Tom Cruise (Jasper Irving) as a slippery
Republican senator whose greatest desire is to become president; Robert Redford
as the idealistic college professor teaching political science and Meryl Streep
(Janine Roth), winner of two Oscars and six Golden Globes, as the world weary
journalist.
The action of the movie is divided into three plans of action all of
them happening at the same time in different locations.
