In a world where journalism is under attack, Marie Colvin
(Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike) is one of the most celebrated war
correspondents of our time. Colvin is an utterly fearless and rebellious
spirit, driven to the frontlines of conflicts across the globe to give
voice to the voiceless, while constantly testing the limits between
bravery and bravado. After being hit by a grenade in Sri Lanka, she
wears a distinctive eye patch and is still as comfortable sipping
martinis with London's elite as she is confronting dictators. Colvin
sacrifices loving relationships, and over time, her personal life starts
to unravel as the trauma she's witnessed takes its toll. Yet, her
mission to show the true cost of war leads her -- along with renowned
war photographer Paul Conroy (Jamie Dornan) -- to embark on the most
dangerous assignment of their lives in the besieged Syrian city of
Homs. Based on the extraordinary life of Marie Colvin, A PRIVATE WAR is
brought to the screen by Academy Award nominee and critically acclaimed
documentary filmmaker Matthew Heineman in his pulse-pounding narrative
feature debut.
