THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

This film is based on the book of the same name by George Crile, which was itself based on actual events.
In the film Charlie Wilson receives a stinger missile as a token of gratitude from the Afghan people he supplied weapons too. The real Charlie Wilson keeps the stinger missile on display in his home and says it is one of his most prized possessions.
The real Charlie Wilson has said of the accuracy of his character: "Anything I might have objected to was provable". Wilson had a heart transplant surgery right before the release of this film, however he still managed to make it to the premiere of the film.
