Today a war movie with action star Bruce Willis from 2003 is on TV. The actor was injured on set during an explosion and sued the production.
Hollywood star Bruce Willis had to give up his career due to dementia. While some of his films have certainly risen in the admiration of fans as a result, Tears of the Sun now has a dubious reputation. On the set of the war film, which is being shown on TV today, Willis suffered a potentially serious injury
War movie on TV: Action star Bruce Willis was hit by a projectile while filming Tears of the Sun
Tears of the Sun revolves around a team of elite soldiers under Lieutenant Waters (Willis) who are sent to rescue US citizen Dr. Lena Fiore Kendricks (Monica Bellucci) from the turmoil of a Nigerian civil war
Watch the trailer for Tears of the Sun here:
The war film disappointed at the box office (via The Numbers ) and failed the critics, who criticized a weak script in particular (via Metacritic ). About a year after its release, the film returned to the newspapers because Willis sued the producers: a projectile had apparently hit him in the head when pyrotechnics were detonated on set (via The Guardian ).
What sounds very alarming in itself may have had tragic long-term consequences. According to the British tabloid The Sun, relatives are considering a connection between the injury and his dementia.
