Tears of the Sun is a 2003 movie directed by Antoine Fuqua. He was trained to follow orders. He became a hero by defying them. Navy SEAL A,K. Waters are in Nigeria when its democratic government collapses & a military dictator takes over. Disobeying orders to rescue a group of missionaries & villagers, they are pursued by the rebel army for no apparent reason. Eventually, it becomes clear that one of the refugees is the sole surviving member of the royal family, whom the rebels wish to kill. Tears of the Sun   at the Internet Movie Database.

While it offers nothing new to the military-action genre, Tears of the Sun distinguishes itself with fine acting, expert craftsmanship & seriousness of purpose. Its familiar extraction mission plot is essentially similar to that of Black Hawk Down, involving a crack team of US Special Ops commandos struggling to rescue innocent missionaries amid the bloody horror of Nigerian ethnic cleansing. With Bruce Willis as their grizzled, no-nonsense commander, the skilful team enters a hot zone that gets even hotter when their package, an American national who runs the isolated mission, demands that 70 Nigerian villagers be included in the rescue. Williss uneasy conscience leads him to defy orders & expand his mission, & in an ambitious follow up to Training Day, director Antoine Fuqua escalates tension & strike-force with considerable emotional impact. Originally considered as a potential entry in Williss Die Hard series, & released in cinemas on the eve of Americas war with Iraq, Tears of the Sun admirably avoids jingoism with its rousing story of personal good vs political evil. ,
