Tears of the Sun

Synopsis

Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) directs this action-adventure starring Bruce Willis as a Navy SEAL officer who travels to civil-wartorn Nigeria to rescue an American doctor. But when Lt. Waters (Willis) arrives, Dr. Lena Kendricks (Monica Bellucci) refuses to abandon the refugees under her care, instead persuading Waters and his team to escort them on a dangerous trek through the jungle to the Cameroonian border. They’re confounded when they are inexplicably and ferociously pursued by an army of rebels, until they discover that among the refugees is the sole survivor of the country’s previous ruling family, whom the rebels have been ordered to eliminate at all costs. Waters and his small band of soldiers must weigh the life of one man against their own and those of the refugees they feel obliged to protect.
