### Summary

Blood Diamond is about Danny Archer a mercenary from Rhodesia that moved to South Africa. He is involved with trading blood diamonds from Sierra Leone onto the world market. He comes across Solomon Vandy in prison who has found and hidden a large diamond worth millions. One of Solomon’s children is taken away by rebels in his absence and become trained as a child soldier. Eventually after much persuasion Danny and Solomon get together to go and find the diamond that he had hidden. The plot includes the “colonel” who taught Danny all about being a soldier when they were in the army together and he was his commanding officer. The colonel works with a large mercenary organisation in Africa that deals with governments and blood diamonds. He also wants a piece of this legendary enormous diamond which has been found and buried.
