Plots(1)
Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun is an inspiring, action-packed epic of a small boy in a great war. That boy is Jim Graham (Christian Bale), a young Briton whose unconquerable spirit soars high and free above the harsh confines of a Japanese internment camp during World War II. Through his eyes we see the fascination and horror of war. And we see Jim's hold on childhood weaken as his struggle to survive grows fiercer. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)
