One Facebook user admitted: “This movie makes [me] cry like a baby.” Tears of the Sun was released over 20 years ago and follows a U.S. Navy SEAL team on a rescue mission in Nigeria.

Willis plays Lieutenant A.K. Waters as the team attempt to rescue a U.S. citizen, Dr Lena Fiore Kendricks played by Monica Bellucci. The special ops commander takes his team in to the jungle to rescue her, but Bellucci’s character will only agree to join them if they rescue 70 refugees as well.

Tears of the Sun is one of the lesser known films in Bruce’s catalogue. The Hollywood actor became a household name after playing John McClane in the Die Hard franchise, which began with the first film in 1988.

The actor – real name Walter Bruce Willis – went on to land many more action roles throughout his career, including parts in Pulp Fiction, The Fifth Element, Armageddon, Red, Glass and Unbreakable. He also landed a horror-mystery role in 1999’s The Sixth Sense.

Willis is one of the most recognisable figures in Hollywood and was previously married to actress Demi Moore. Sadly, in recent years Bruce’s health has deteriorated.

The Die Hard legend was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia back in 2023. His family made an announcement which left fans across the world completely heartbroken.
