With Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts leading the cast, Charlie Wilson's War is a biographical drama that unpacks the covert dealings of U.S. Congressman Charlie Wilson, who played a significant role in funding the Afghan mujahideen during the Soviet-Afghan War. Much like Gulag, this film offers a blend of personal drama and geopolitical intrigue that will captivate viewers interested in Cold War politics.

Focusing on the Battle of Stalingrad during World War II, Enemy at the Gates features a sharpshooter duel within the broader context of war. Fans of Gulag's intense atmosphere and historical backdrop will find the gritty realism and tactical suspense of this film particularly engaging.
