The first film of its kind to chronicle the reasons behind Iraq's descent into guerilla war, warlord rule, criminality and anarchy, NO END IN SIGHT is a jaw-dropping, insider's tale of wholesale incompetence, recklessness and venality. Director Charles Ferguson's hard-hitting documentary expose about the American government's strategic planning, or lack of it, at the outset of the Iraq war, as told by those who were involved. In a frightening parallel with the Vietnam war, American military planners expected hostilities in Iraq to be over within a few months. Just as with Vietnam, however, American forces quickly became engaged in a morale-sapping conflict, under attack from both sides, that offered no easy way out. Chronologically following the chain of events, the film dissects the decisions made by the Bush administration at the outset of the war, questioning why these decisions were made, and asking whether anything can still be done to remedy the situation. Those involved in all areas of the conflict: soldiers, planners, reporters, White House aides and military commanders all give their own personal accounts of the decisions and events that led to the current situation. Based on over 200 hours of footage, the film provides a candid retelling of the events following the fall of Baghdad in 2003 by high ranking officials such as former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, Ambassador Barbara Bodine (in charge of Baghdad during the Spring of 2003), Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, and General Jay Garner (in charge of the occupation of Iraq through May 2003), as well as Iraqi civilians, American soldiers and prominent analysts. NO END IN SIGHT examines the manner in which the principal errors of U.S. policy - the use of insufficient troop levels, allowing the looting of Baghdad, the purging of professionals from the Iraqi government and the disbanding of the Iraqi military - largely created the insurgency and chaos that engulf Iraq today.

《看不到尽头》是第一部记录伊拉克陷入游击战争、军阀统治、犯罪和无政府状态背后原因的同类电影，讲述了令人瞠目结舌的内部人士的无能、鲁莽和唯利是图的故事。导演查尔斯·弗格森这部震撼人心的纪录片揭露了美国政府在伊拉克战争开始时的战略规划或缺乏战略规划，正如参与人员所说。与越南战争类似的是，美国军事规划者预计伊拉克的敌对行动将在几个月内结束。然而，就像越南战争一样，美国军队很快就陷入了一场士气低落的冲突，在双方的攻击下，没有任何简单的出路。影片按照一系列事件的时间顺序，剖析了布什政府在战争开始时做出的决定，质疑为什么做出这些决定，并询问是否仍然可以采取任何措施来纠正这种情况。参与冲突各个领域的人员：士兵、策划者、记者、白宫助手和军事指挥官都对导致当前局势的决定和事件进行了个人叙述。影片以超过 200 小时的镜头为基础，坦诚地讲述了 2003 年巴格达陷落后发生的事件，前副国务卿理查德·阿米蒂奇、芭芭拉·博丁大使（2003 年春天负责巴格达事务）等高级官员都曾参与其中。 2003 年）、科林·鲍威尔的前参谋长劳伦斯·威尔克森上校和杰伊·加纳将军（负责占领伊拉克直至 2003 年 5 月），以及伊拉克平民、美国士兵和著名分析人士。 《看不到尽头》审视了美国的主要错误的方式 政策——使用不足的部队、允许对巴格达进行抢劫、清除伊拉克政府的专业人员以及解散伊拉克军队——在很大程度上造成了今天席卷伊拉克的叛乱和混乱。由查尔斯·弗格森编剧、导演和制作；代表性图片有限责任公司制作
