About this movie

Former Secretary of Defense (1961-1968), Robert S. McNamara was one of the most controversial and influential political figures of the 20th century. Now - for the first time ever - he sits down one-on-one with award-winning director Errol Morris (The Thin Blue Line) to offer a candid and intimate journey through some of the most seminal events in contemporary American history. As leader of the world's most powerful military force during this nation's most volatile period in recent years, McNamara offers new and often surprising insight into the firebombing of 100,000 Japanese civilians in 1945 Tokyo, the diversion of nuclear catastrophe during the Cuban missile crisis and devastating effects of the Vietnam War. Featuring newly released oval office recorded conversations with Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, THE FOG OF WAR received critical acclaim for its up-close and personal insider perspective. See the film that Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun Times) hailed as a "masterpiece!"
