"Lord of War" is the story of an arms dealer (Cage) who reevaluates the morality of his occupation while on the run from an Interpol agent.
Born in Ukraine before the break-up of the Soviet Union, Yuri Orlov’s family emigrated to America when Yuri was a boy, falsely claiming to be of Jewish descent. It is the first of many fraudulent identities for Yuri.
His parents open a kosher restaurant in Brighton Beach, New York. It is here as a young man that Yuri first glimpses the woman of his dreams -- beauty queen, Ava Cordova. However, Ava doesn’t know Yuri exists.
Disillusioned with his life working in his parent’s struggling restaurant, Yuri witnesses a shoot-out between rival Russian mobsters. Lucky to escape alive, it is a pivotal moment in Yuri’s life. “You go into the restaurant business because ‘people are always going to have to eat.’ That was the day I realized my destiny lay in fulfilling another basic human need.”
