English Summary:
Lord of War is a 2005 crime drama written, produced, and directed by Andrew Niccol, and co-produced by and starring Nicolas Cage. It was released in the United States on September 16, 2005, with the DVD following on January 17, 2006 and the Blu-ray Disc on July 27, 2006. Cage plays an illegal arms dealer, inspired by the stories of several real-life arms dealers and smugglers. The film was officially endorsed by the human rights group Amnesty International for highlighting the arms trafficking by the international arms industry
In the early 1980s, Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage), the eldest son of a family of Ukrainian refugees, is visiting a Brighton Beach restaurant, where he witnesses a Russian mobster kill two would-be assassins holding Kalashnikov assault rifles. He is inspired to go into the arms trade, comparing the constant need for weapons to the similar human need for food. After completing his first sale, Yuri convinces his brother Vitaly (Jared Leto) to become his partner and they leave their jobs at the family restaurant behind.
Yuri's first big break comes in the 1982 Lebanon War, when he sells guns to all sides of the conflict, despite witnessing war crimes and atrocities. As Yuri becomes more successful in the war's aftermath, his business comes to the attention of Interpol and in particular idealistic agent Jack Valentine (Ethan Hawke).
Hungarian Summary:
A hidegháború, a keleti és nyugati tömb szembenállásának megszűnése után hatalmas mennyiségű fegyver maradt a volt szovjet tagállamok birtokában. Ezek a fegyverek - főleg afrikai - fejlődő országokba kerültek, ahol a szörnyű helyi konfliktusokon számos nemzetközi fegyverkereskedő gazdagodott meg busásan. Sokak szerint ez a huszadik század legmocskosabb és legnagyobb üzlete. Egyedül Ukrajnában egyedül megközelítőleg 32 milliárd dollár értékű fegyvernek kelt lába 1982 és 1992 között, melyért soha, senkit nem vontak felelősségre. Az ukrán születésű Jurij Orlov a kockázatos, de jól menő biznisz jeles képviselője. Testvérével együtt a világ legveszélyesebb háborús övezeteiben látják el a nagykutyákat fegyverekkel. Jurijnak kalandjai során szembe kell néznie a bulldogként nyomában loholó Interpol-ügynökkel, az életére törő konkurenciával, szerelme gyanakvásával és elsősorban saját lelkiismeretével.
