Empire of the Sun DVD Summary Based on J.

G.

Ballard
's autobiographical novel, Empire of the Sun stars Christian Bale as a spoiled young British boy, living with his wealthy family in pre-World War II Shanghai.

During the Japanese invasion, Bale is separated from his parents.

With the help of soldier-of-fortune John Malkovich, Bale learns to survive without a retinue of servants at his beck and call.

By the time Malkovich and Bale are tossed into a Japanese prison camp, the boy has picked up enough street-smarts and developed enough intestinal fortitude to regard his imprisonment as an exciting adventure.

The story ends during the 1945 liberation: on the verge of manhood, the 13-year-old Bale will never again be the pampered, privileged brat whom we met in the early scenes.
