| Plot |
| When Michael Crichton wrote his best-selling thriller Rising Sun , he wrote the character of hero John Connor with Sean Connery in mind. For Philip Kaufman 's film version of the novel, Sean Connery , needless to say, fits seamlessly into the role of a legendary police detective who is an expert in Japanese culture. The story takes place in the towering office building of the Japanese Nakamoto Corporation in Los Angeles, who are negotiating a deal with Microcon, an American electronics firm. During a gala held one night in the Nakamoto offices, the body of a woman, Cheryl Lynn Austin ( Tatjana Patitz ) is found murdered in the main conference room. Arriving quickly on the scene is high-amped police lieutenant Tom Graham ( Harvey Keitel ), who oozes hatred for anything Japanese from every pore. When he has trouble getting cooperation from the Nakatomo executives, Graham calls in Web Smith ( Wesley Snipes ), a Special Services liaison, and John Connor ( Connery ), a man well-versed in Japanese culture and traditions. Together they form a team as they investigate the crime. Connor questions computer video expert Jingo ( Tia Carrere ), who works on a security system computer disc that captures the killer's identity. The only problem is that the image of the killer on the disc has been altered to conceal the murderer's face. — Paul Brenner |
