Looking for the name of a Nicolas Cage movie?
Lord of War
Based on a true story, it is an action blockbuster about war, money and personal conscience. The protagonist deceives himself and others into believing that there is no difference between arms and other commodities, and ignores the original sinfulness of war behind the arms. As a result, his family is ruined and he is tortured by his conscience.
The protagonist Yuri immigrated to the United States from Europe with his family when he was a teenager. At the age of 18, he joined the United Nations peacekeeping force and was sent to Africa as a translator. Disgusted by war, he had no interest in the work he was doing. By chance, he resold the guns to the civilian armed forces. And during this period, he met the woman he fell in love with at first sight - Eva. After returning to the United States, Yuri persuaded his younger brother Vitaly to join his arms business, and the two began to make money by reselling underground arms. But two major threats haunt Yuri like ghosts: his business nemesis and Jack, an international policeman hot on his trail. Vitali became addicted to drugs. Yuri is very sad every time he sees his brother suffering from drug addiction, but there is nothing he can do.
Yuri has always been obsessed with Eva, managed to meet him, and succeeded in making Eva fall in love with him. Yuri told Eva that he was in the big business of international shipping and was making a lot of money. The two married and had a child. In front of his wife and children, Yuri is a perfect family man, taking care of them wholeheartedly and even taking away the toy guns from his son's room to prevent him from being exposed to these violent things. On the other hand, Yuri's lies were difficult to sustain. In order to make money, he returned to Ukraine and started his old business again. He partnered with his uncle Domitri to sell arms to war-torn areas in Africa and became rich overnight.
The International Police Organization arrested Yuri, but quickly released him due to insufficient evidence. Eva becomes suspicious of his business and confronts him. Yuri admitted that he was an arms dealer. For the sake of his wife and this family, he is determined to be a businessman doing legitimate business. After many unsuccessful attempts, nature led him back to his old ways. He persuaded his younger brother to go to Africa with him to discuss business, but something went wrong along the way. His younger brother's love for peace led him to attack and kill Andre II, blow up a cart of gunpowder, and then be shot to death by Africans. . Yuri escaped and completed the deal.
The death of his younger brother greatly touched Yuri, and he began to think about the meaning and correctness of what he had done. The bullets were not removed from the brother's body, so it was found by customs and he was arrested. After returning to the United States, his parents refused to forgive him and kicked him out of the house. Eva also left him with her children as the police followed her.
Under the arrangements of the international police, Yuri began to work for the United States. However, at this time he was alone. So poor that only money is left.
