“Spectacular, exciting and stunningly well made.” —David Denby, The New Yorker

An ex-mercenary turned smuggler (Leonardo DiCaprio). A Mende fisherman (Djimon Dounsou). Amid the explosive civil war overtaking Sierra Leone in 1999, these men join forces 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 countrywide. Directed by Edward Zwick, the intensely moving adventure shapes gripping human stories and heart-pounding action into a modern epic of profound impact.
