Blood Diamond


Directed by: Edward Zwick

With Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Connelly, Djimon Hounsou

Set against the backdrop of the Sierra Leone civil war, Blood Diamond stars Leonardo DiCaprio as an ex-mercenary; Djimon Hounsou as a fisherman forced to work in the diamond mines by the rebels; and Jennifer Connelly as an American journalist. All three want to get their hands on a rare pink diamond, and they take turns using, helping, and half trusting one another to get it. "Blood Diamond is a gem, if only for being an unusually smart, engaged popcorn flick." (Washington Post) More at blooddiamondmovie.warnerbros.com
