Robert McNamara was Minister van Defensie tijdens de ambtstermijnen van de presidenten Kennedy en Johnson. Van 1968 tot 1981 was hij president van de Wereldbank. Regisseur Morris belicht via interviews met McNamara zelf en archiefmateriaal het leven van deze controversiele man en benadrukt zijn rol in de Vietnam-oorlog.
Nee, helaas is The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
