Synopsis: Set against the backdrop of civil war and chaos in 1990s Sierra
Leone, "Blood Diamond" is the story of Danny Archer (Leonardo
DiCaprio), a South African mercenary, and Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou),
a Mende fisherman. Both men are African, but their histories as different
as any can be, until their fates become joined in a common quest to recover
a rare pink diamond that can transform their lives. While in prison for
smuggling, Archer learns that Solomon - who was taken from his family
and forced to work in the diamond fields - has found and hidden the extraordinary
rough stone. With the help of Maddy Bowen (Jennifer Connelly), an American
journalist whose idealism is tempered by a deepening connection with
Archer, the two men embark on a trek through rebel territory, a journey
that could save Solomon's family and give Archer the second chance he
thought he would never have. Windows Media Player
