An ex-mercenary turned smuggler (DiCaprio). A Mende fisherman (Hounsou). Amid the explosive civil war overtaking 1999 Sierra Leone, these men join for two desperate missions: recovering a rare pink diamond of immense value and rescuing the fisherman's son, conscripted as a child soldier into the brutal rebel forces ripping a swath of torture and bloodshed across the alternately beautiful and ravaged countryside. Directed by Edward Zwick (GLORY, THE LAST SAMURAI), this urgent, intensely moving adventure shapes gripping human stories and heart-pounding action into a modern epic of profound impact.
"BLOOD DIAMOND is a taut action-adventure saga that is also thought-provoking." -- Claudia Puig, USA TODAY
