Tears of the Sun

Tears of the Sun

2003

Bruce Willis stars as Lt. A.K. Waters, a heroic Navy S.E.A.L. who defies military orders and follows his conscience in director Antoine Fuqua's epic action drama. Sent to the jungles of embattled Africa to rescue a doctor (Monica Bellucci), Waters realizes he must also save the refugees in her care -- even if it endangers him and his troops and places his military career in jeopardy.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
