The African adventure is set in Sierra Leone circa 1999, a time when the nation was in the midst of a horrific civil war. DiCaprio plays the role of a smuggler who specializes in the sale of "blood diamonds," also known as "conflict diamonds" -- the precious stones used to finance rebellions, privateers and terrorists.

When the smuggler encounters an indigenous Mende farmer whose young son has disappeared into the RUF's army of child soldiers, the two men's fates become linked.

MovieWeb Reviews:

"Blood Diamond is gripping, thrilling and emotional. It's an action film with a social commentary and a deep study at the economical conflict of the diamond trade in Africa. Edward Zwick adds his touch to make this film something to remember."
