A
career soldier is forced to choose between following orders and saving lives
in this action thriller. Lt. A.K. Walters (Bruce Willis) is a veteran Navy
SEAL whose commander (Tom Skerritt) has given his team a special assignment.
A Central African nation is expected to explode into war at any moment, and
Walters and his cohorts are to escort any American citizens in the area to
safety, most notably Dr. Lena Kendricks (Monica Bellucci), a doctor from the
United States who has set up a clinic in the jungle. Walters and his men
find Kendricks, but she refuses to leave with them unless she can bring
along 70 refugees who have been left to her care. Kendricks makes it clear
that if they are left behind, the refugees will face certain death, but
Walters' C.O. insists he bring back Kendricks — but not her patients. Forced
by his conscience to disobey orders, Walters and his team race against time
to escort the refugees to a border town where they will find safe haven
before invading troops can ambush them. Tears of the Sun (which was produced
under the title Man of War) also features Cole Hauser and Fionnula Flanagan.| Bruce Willis | Lt. A.K. Waters |
