Synopsis
In director Antoine Fuqua's (Training Day) new action-adventure
film, Bruce Willis stars as Lt. A.K. Waters, the loyal veteran
officer of a Navy S.E.A.L unit. When he's sent into the heart
of Africa, the usually hard-bitten Waters finds himself deeply
conflicted at having to choose between following orders and the
dictates of his own conscience.
Though a fictionalization, Tears
of the Sun deals with the gritty realism of human conflict as
Lt. Waters travels to war-torn central Africa to rescue Dr. Lena
Kendricks (Monica Bellucci), a U.S. citizen who runs a mission
in the countryside. But when Lt. Waters arrives Dr. Kendricks
refuses to abandon the refugees under her care. She implores Waters
to escort them on a dangerous trek through the dense jungle to
the nearby border. During the journey the S.E.A.L.s find themselves
the unwitting guardians of a man sought by the rebel militia.
This further endangers their already hazardous mission, but all
the while strengthening Waters' resolve to protect Lena and the
refugees, and to deliver them safely across the border.
