    Empire of the Sun is a coming-of-age war drama directed by Steven Spielberg, based on J.G. Ballard's semi-autobiographical novel. The film follows Jim Graham (Christian Bale in an early breakout role), a privileged British boy whose life is upended when he is separated from his family during Japan’s occupation of Shanghai in World War II. Co-starring John Malkovich as the enigmatic Basie, it captures Jim’s struggle for survival, self-discovery, and resilience in a world at war.
