Rising Sun

Rising Sun

1993

An ex-investigator (Sean Connery) with expert knowledge of Japanese customs is called in to help a detective (Wesley Snipes) solve a prostitute's murder. Committed during the height of a corporate gala, the crime was captured on video -- but the evidence has been suspiciously altered. As they work together to solve the case, the unlikely partners uncover a chain of corporate corruption that's nearly as gruesome as the victim's death.

A coalition of East and West. A conspiracy of seduction and murder. A battle between tradition and power. Business is war.
