Lions for Lambs
Three stories told simultaneously in ninety minutes of real time: a Republican Senator who's a presidential hopeful gives an hour-long interview to a skeptical television reporter, detailing a strategy for victory in Afghanistan; two special forces ambushed on an Afghani ridge await rescue as Taliban forces close in; a poli-sci professor at a California college invites a student to re-engage.

56 of 56 · most liked firstA lame, heavy-handed, two dimensional-ass movie but Tom Cruise does this exact scene in Lions for Lambs. Gets called away mid-interview to find out his shiny new war plan immediately ate shit, returns to Meryl Streep with no color in his face and triples down on the emotional necessity to keep going

unlabelledView post →Lions for Lambs is such an artefact from 2007 that it feels like it comes from another planet. The movie sucks letterboxd.com/ernekid/film...
unlabelledView post →Ruin a movie by adding a Supreme Court Justice, Fields Medal winner, Lady Byng Trophy awardee, or actor/actress who has appeared as a guest star on THE LOVE BOAT: PIERRE-LOUIS LIONS FOR LAMBS
unlabelledView post →Seriously! As a tribute to the recently lost Robert Redford, pay tribute to him by watching his directorial debut film, Lions for Lambs - it's 1.5 hrs, but a true depiction of GOP lies/Media sway/Afghanistan.
unlabelledView post →Tom Cruise is a strong personality and whether or not he’s a producer on the film he has terrific instincts. So I remain very hopeful. He is not perfect though Rock of Ages and Knight and Day and Lions for Lambs and Vanilla Sky stunk But that’s four movies in 25 years
unlabelledView post →Great movie. "Lions for Lambs." 2007. Starry cast. It's about how we f*d up in Afghanistan & the media bought Administration propaganda. But, this all applies to how Americans are now being hornswoggled by Trump propaganda. Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. www.imdb.com/title/tt0891...

unlabelledView post →There's a kinda mid movie from 2007 called Lions for Lambs where two kids propose a massive public works investment for every graduating high schooler to spend two years either in the military, forestry service, public works, or teaching and I still think it's the best idea I've ever heard.

unlabelledView post →In 2007, I attended the DC premiere for perhaps Redford's worst movie, "Lions for Lambs." But I did get this shot!
unlabelledView post →“Lions for Lambs” was his worst film! Come at me free speech bro! I’m a GenX’er and growing up this guy was an icon. Coolest of the cool. I thought he miight actually live forever, so sad he’s gone. Think I’ll watch The Sting tonight.
unlabelledView post →With the Mission Impossible movie coming out this week, I wondered how many Tom Cruise movies I've seen. IMDB lists 47 movies he's been in and I've seen 45. I've missed: Lions for Lambs in 2007 or at least don't remember seeing it, and Losing It in 1982
unlabelledView post →1: “Lions for Lambs,” a very topical 2007 film concerning the issue of the Afghanistan war, told through three separate stories. Trouble is it’s SO topical and of its time that it doesn’t have as much of an impact in 2025. Some well-acted elements though, like the Meryl Streep-Tom Cruise segment.
unlabelledView post →I’ve been watching this old movie again “Lions for Lambs” with Redford and Streep and Tom Cruise playing a Republican warmongering politician, but this one segment always gets me ..
unlabelledView post →Denzel is the last real movie star in the sense that his audience shows up for any movie he’s in, drams as well as action fare. Tom Cruise couldn’t open Lions For Lambs or even Jack Reacher. Plus until Equalizer 2 D probably had the longest stretch of major stardom with no sequels.
unlabelledView post →I'm such a dope! Set release time for PM not AM today 🙃 New episode is out, we've got the worst film ever(?), a favourite short(?), and Tom Cruise in whatever the hell Lions for Lambs was, all in today's episode. open.spotify.com/episode/4iUV...

unlabelledView post →Fun to come across movies ... I was looking for a specific movie on Kanopy & couldn't find it. So I searched for Robert Redford. A movie he starred in & directed called "Lions For Lambs" came up. Wow! Meryl Streep & Robert Redford! A thinking movie, a political movie, a war movie. Excellent!

unlabelledView post →Watched 2 Redford movies. All is Lost. No soundtrack and only about 8 lines of dialog. I will never go on any boat ever again. Ever. Get the red head a hat! Lions for Lambs. Tom Cruise 🤮 as a GOP senator. Movie could have been written yesterday. Sadly still timely.

unlabelledView post →Joke in the family: I’d say someday they’ll do a movie about me, starring RR. Son in the Marines called, Dad, they made the movie! Lions for Lambs. Not a commercial success, but, c’mon, RR being Me. Pretty cool.

Aloha 🙏🏼 Robert Redford (1936 - 2025) Images: 1. “Three Days of the Condor” (1975) 2. “All The President’s Men” (1976) 3. “A Bridge Too Far” (1977) 4. “Lions For Lambs” (2007) #History #Film #America #RobertRedford @iammrbeat.bsky.social @cynicalhistorian.bsky.social
unlabelledView post →It's hard to decide which movie to watch tonight...The Sting? Three Days of the Condor? The Horse Whisperer? The Last Castle? Lions for Lambs? Spy Games? Oh #RobertRedford you made so many Great Films and gave life to many great film makers. RiP.
unlabelledView post →related - watched an interesting film this eve, just stumbled upon it: "Lions For Lambs", from 2007, re our policies in Iraq, Afghanistan, all the layers of players and decisions they/we were making - directed by Robert Redford, good cast... and, it all still applies today ~ when do we learn?
unlabelledView post →I recognize this worldview is probably entirely molded by Lions for Lambs but I really liked that movie.
unlabelledView post →LIONS FOR LAMBS: just because it's not unlike something Rod Serling would have written for live TV doesn't make it a bad movie! (I'm okay being in the minority on it)
unlabelledView post →If you want to feel worse, watch a film by Tom Cruise from the age you are every year. So 45 Cruise is Lions for Lambs.
unlabelledView post →It really was! But can we please put Top Gun and Top Gun:Maverick to our Tom Cruise movie date weekend. We can leave The Last Samurai and Lions for Lambs off.
unlabelledView post →DNF Lions For Lambs. It was an American twitter political thread masquerading as a movie. We got halfway through; bored to tears. That leaves just two movies left for Cruisewatch - we're going to watch War of the Worlds next.
unlabelledView post →Tonight's movie is *Lions for Lambs* (2007) with Tom Cruise, Robert Redford, Meryl Streep, Andrew Garfield, and others. Everyone is in this flick. Your Mum might be in it for all I know.
unlabelledView post →Lions for Lambs isn’t a great film but he’s absolutely fantastic in it.
unlabelledView post →my kid’s review of Lions for Lambs (2007) “there are 2 guys who don’t know a language except one knows the words his language borrowed from the other one, and the other knows those words plus some basic grammar words—and the second guy feels smugly superior to the first. the film is that 2nd guy.”

unlabelledView post →I guess you could count Tropic Thunder and (less generously, because the movie sadly is a snore fest) Lions for Lambs as well. And if you felt War of the Worlds was still too TOM CRUISE for your tastes... it might be all the way back to Collateral.
unlabelledView post →Watching “Lions for Lambs” with Redford, Cruise, and Streep. What a great movie about US Policies! Excellent dialogue.
unlabelledView post →Saw a clip from Lions for Lambs (b/c Redford passed) and realized that I have not watched a single movie about the war on terror or the war in Iraq.
unlabelledView post →In 2007, I attended the DC premier for perhaps Redford's worst movie, "Lions for Lambs." But I did get this shot!
unlabelledView post →I’m going to step outside and say LIONS FOR LAMBS. I loved that movie, Redford, Streep and Cruise are all smoldering in the political ashes. Redford directed. Can’t miss.
unlabelledView post →I’m sorry to ask, but why did he not maintain his game as director? Quiz Show is extremely well crafted with A game performances from everyone. Even The Horse Whisperer is technically outstanding…then the civics lesson Lions for Lambs and the glorified TV movie The Conspirator.
unlabelledView post →Rest In Peace, Robert Redford. I recall first seeing All The President's Men in school & later Spy Game in theaters back when you still had to check for movie times in the paper or on TV. Such as wild career. Lions for Lambs, The Winter Soldier, A Bridge Too Far. TY<3 #robertredford #restinpeace

unlabelledView post →randomly started rewatching “Lions for Lambs” (great movie) and part of the plot was related to fear mongering about Iran having nuclear weapons and this came out back in 2007..
unlabelledView post →One of my all-time favorite scenes which applies to the current state of affairs from Redford's film Lions for Lambs. #war #adults #Redford m.youtube.com/watch?v=V1hQ...
unlabelledView post →To this day LIONS FOR LAMBS is the only Tom Cruise movie I haven't seen. No idea why.
unlabelledView post →Yeah, that seems unfair. That role was far more than just a mere cameo. Also, Valkyrie & Knight and Day were both good movies (haven't seen Lions for Lambs so can't comment). Nothing worth putting him in "movie star jail" over 😋
unlabelledView post →More film writers should use obscure titles as a descriptor for Hollywood celebrities as a little joke. “ENDLESS LOVE and LIONS FOR LAMBS star Tom Cruise will next be appearing in MISSION IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING.”
unlabelledView post →17 years ago: Lions for Lambs www.razorfine.com/movie-review... #LionsForLambs #moviereview #review
unlabelledView post →Put on Lions for Lambs (2007) in the background. Terrible film. Practically unwatchable. Andrew Garfield’s character is praised by his teacher for sparking a lively debate in class—for comparing a needle exchange programme to a dedicated drunk driving lane (?)
