Have you seen this movie? See it. It's great. And based on true events. Really well done. Nicolas Cage is one of the producers (2005, avail on DVD)
from "Cinematic Intelligence Agency"
http://thecia.com.au/reviews/l/lord-of-war.shtml
" Lord of war - Nicholas Cage, Monica Bellucci, Ethan Hawke, Andrew Niccol
"Threat advisory: Elevated - Significant risk of entertaining activities
"Movie propaganda [tagline]:
'First rule of gun-running: never get shot with your own merchandise.'
"Based on fact, Lord of war is an action adventure story set in the world of international arms dealing.
"The film explores a little-known consequence of the end of the Cold War - the enormous quantity of arms that suddenly became available for sale by former Soviet states to developing countries (especially in Africa) and the vast sums of money made by the arms dealers who sold them.
"Many believe it is the greatest heist of the 20th Century. In Ukraine alone between 1982 and 1992 over $32 billion in arms were stolen. No culprit has ever been caught or prosecuted.
"The film follows the globe-trotting exploits of arms dealer Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage). Through some of the deadliest war zones, Yuri struggles to stay one step ahead of a relentless Interpol agent, his business rivals, even some of his customers who include many of the world's most notorious dictators.
"Finally, Yuri must also face his own conscience."
Jared Leto (Alexander) plays his brother Vitaly, shown in this photo. Ethan Hawke plays his Interpol adversary, and Ian Holm a competing seller.
This movie is an incredible trip through a world we wish does not exist. but it does.
