This epic tale of the turbulent romance between two star-crossed lovers is set against the backdrop of the world's most dangerous hot spots with Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie starring as Sarah Jordan, an American living in London in 1984. She is married to Henry Bauford (Linus Roache), son of a wealthy British industrialist, when she encounters Nick Callahan (Clive Owen) a renegade doctor, whose impassioned plea for help to support his relief efforts in war-torn Africa moves her deeply. As a result, Sarah embarks upon a journey of discovery that leads to danger, heartbreak and romance in the far corners of the world.

James Horner's score is a powerful and gripping work, infused with varied ethnic influences spanning the three principal locations  -  Ethiopia, Cambodia and Chechnya  -  and a dozen years over which the moving story unfolds. Neither the music nor the images this film presents will soon be forgotten.
