The film is based on a true story
The film tells the story of arms dealer Yuri Orof's legendary arms trafficking career in flashbacks.
When Yuri was a child, he immigrated to the United States from Ukraine with his family. Yuri's parents opened a kosher restaurant in New York, which they saw as useful because "everyone has to eat." After Yuri witnesses a Russian gang boss killing two Assassins, Yuri decides to start a life of arms trafficking and work with his younger brother Wittley. Yuri owned a secret container as a place to keep several of his identification and documents, and began selling a large number of M16 assault rifles left over from the 1982 Lebanese war.
During the arms sale, Yuri was targeted by Interpol agent Jack Valentine and began a "cat and mouse" chase game. After a deal with a Colombian drug dealer, they originally only needed cash, but the other party paid for cocaine; Yuri originally did not want to accept it, but was shot and injured by the other party, so he had to reluctantly accept it. Unexpectedly, At this moment, Witty picked up the ready-made drugs and began to take them, becoming addicted to drugs, and Yuri had to send him to the drug rehabilitation center.
Under Yuri's elaborate design, he meets his dream lover, Ava Fontaine, and lies to her that he is a successful transport industry rich man. With the illusion of his slippery tongue and large sums of money, he successfully won Ava's heart and married and had children.
Although smooth, Yuri's business remained small until he returned to Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and sold large quantities of leftover arms with his uncle, a former Soviet general. The weapons further expanded his business and at one point sold them to Liberia in West Africa, helping dictators there suppress domestic uprisings. Under pressure from his family, Yuri once wanted to give up the arms trade and start a legitimate business, but after the Liberian warlords personally visited and lured him with heavy money, Yuri returned to his old business.
However, during an arms trade in Sierra Leone, Witty, who had been commissioned by Yuri to return to his old career after successful drug rehabilitation, was condemned for his conscience when he discovered that the weapons they were selling were being used by dictators to massacre unarmed civilians in the area. In order to prevent the transaction from proceeding, Wittley blew up a truck, but unfortunately, Wittley was killed by the dictator's army, and Yuri was able to complete the transaction. In addition, the closely followed Interpol Jack still does not miss any opportunity to bring Yuri to justice, under his inducement, Ava discovers Yuri's secret container and knows his true identity and occupation, knowing the truth, she resolutely takes her son away from Yuri.
Although Jack eventually arrests Yuri, he is helpless to reality - one of Yuri's biggest sources of arms is the U.S. government, which exports arms to areas where the United States cannot be made public, helping the so-called "enemy of the enemy". As a result, Jack was pressured by the top not to prosecute him. Yuri, who has lost his family, continues his arms business. The King of War, Yuri, could no longer escape from this realm.
Famous lines:
"Bullets shot from a 14-year-old's gun are just as deadly, and perhaps even more deadly, from a 40-year-old man's gun."
"In my experience, the most successful relationships between two people start with lying and cheating, and end up lying and cheating, so let's start like this."
Beauty: "Don't worry, we're not sick (AIDS)." ”
Yuri: "What if I have?" ”
Beauty: "You're worried too much, why are you worried about a disease that kills you after 10 years?" Today you have a lot of possibilities to die! "
"I want you to go to hell!" But you are already in hell. "
