Documentarian Errol Morris, left, said he was surprised by the forthrightness of former defense secretary Robert S. McNamara    WATCH THE TRAILER
ABOUT THIS MOVIE
Documentary 1 hr. 56 min. This documentary is built around over 20 hours of interviews that director Errol Morris conducted with Robert McNamara (1916-), which is supplemented by archival footage and supplementary interviews. Robert McNamara was the Secretary of Defense during both the John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson presidential administrations, and as such was a key figure in the Vietnam War. McNamara went on to become president of the World Bank (1968-1981) where his global influence continued. This documentary covers McNamara's entire life, but the topic covered most in the conversations with McNamara is the Vietnam War.

REVIEWS
Desson Thomson, WASHINGTON POST
"Now, in Errol Morris' fascinating documentary, an 85-year-old McNamara looks squarely into Morris' camera and, with his eyes occasionally yielding tears, rehashes his life with a mixture of guilt, pride, candor, sadness and self-delusion."  more
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Health
if we learn anything about "the fog of war" from this powerful film, it's that the term must no longer be used as a cover-up for the immoral use weapons of mass destruction by any nation, powerful or not.  more
Mary Colbert, Boxoffice Magazine
Morris incisively deals with a subject who is surprising in his candor as the octogenarian not only confronts his own political career but also casts warnings about the repercussions of decisions and policies.   more

Stephen Holden, The New York Times
If there's one movie that ought to be studied by military and civilian leaders around the world at this treacherous historical moment, it is ''The Fog of War,''  more
