Private War (A Private War) est un film américain réalisé par Matthew Heineman, sorti en 2018. Le film relate les dix dernières années de la reporter de guerre Marie Colvin du Sunday Times.

Synopsis

Journaliste au Sunday Times, Marie Colvin est l’une des correspondantes de guerre les plus célèbres de notre époque. Intrépide et rebelle, sa volonté est de se rendre dans les pays les plus dangereux et ravagés par les conflits afin de donner la parole aux oubliés et victimes. En 2001, elle perd son œil gauche lors d'un reportage au Sri Lanka et elle porte désormais un cache-œil. Mais cet handicap ne l'empêche de poursuivre son métier et, avec l'accord de son patron Sean Ryan, décide de rendre en Syrie en 2012 afin de couvrir clandestinement un conflit dans la cité assiégée d'Homs. Accompagné du photographe de guerre Paul Conroy et du photojournaliste français Rémi Ochlik, elle entreprend la mission la plus dangereuse de sa carrière qui la mènera vers la mort.

Nick Condon (James Cagney) is a journalist for the Tokyo Chronicle. He prints a story disclosing Japan's plan to conquer the world. The newspaper is seized by Japanese officers. Condon gets the Tanaka Plan, a paper in which all the plans are described. The Japanese spies who follow him think that Ollie and Edith Miller (Wallace Ford and Rosemary DeCamp) are the ones who discovered the plan because they suddenly have a lot of money and are coming back to the USA. When Condon goes to the ship to bid them farewell, he finds Edith dead. Hearing someone in the adjoining room, he tries to enter, but the intruder escapes. He has only a glimpse of a woman's hand wearing a ring with a huge ruby. Returning home, he finds Ollie, badly beaten. Ollie gives him the Tanaka plan before dying.
