Lord of War
Lord of War is a 2005 crime drama film written and directed by Andrew Niccol. It stars Nicolas Cage, Jared Leto, Bridget Moynahan, Ethan Hawke, and Eamonn Walker in primary roles. The plot follows an unscrupulous Ukrainian-American man named Yuri Orlov (portrayed by Cage) as he participates in the global arms trafficking industry in the years preceding and succeeding the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The film was released in the United States by Lions Gate Films on September 16, 2005, and grossed US$72.6 million at the box office, making it a financial disappointment.
