There are eight minutes of Charlie Wilson's War online, the new film starring Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts which tells the story of how America began funding the Afghanistan rebellion against the Russian invasion.

I haven't been able to watch them because for some damned reason the high definition version of the trailer won't download and the flash version is through a notoriously horrible player.

Still, there's a chance it might work for you and then you can report back to us all about it.

The trailer for Charlie Wilson's War is over at Yahoo Movies [Flash:480p:720p:1080p] through AICN.
