Empire of the Sun is a 1987 American coming of age war film based on J. G. Ballard's semi-autobiographical novel of the same name. Steven Spielberg directed the film, which stars Christian Bale, John Malkovich, Miranda Richardson, and Nigel Havers. The film tells the story of Jamie "Jim" Graham, a young boy who goes from living in a wealthy British family in Shanghai, to becoming a prisoner of war in Lunghua Civilian Assembly Center, a Japanese internment camp, during World War II.
1941年上海，中国抗日战争已经历时四年，随着太平洋战争的爆发，英美加入战局，上海外租界的西方人的生活也经历了巨大的动荡，11岁的Jamie就是其中之一。在逃难的途中，Jamie和父母走失，他遇到美国人贝希和弗兰克，差点他们被卖掉，三人辗转到了闸北集中营。在集中营，Jamie明白了战争的残酷，学会了“为了吃饭什么事都能干”的生存哲学，还认识了和他一样喜欢飞机的日本小孩。但是，在他内心深处，一直渴望着和父母团聚的一天。
