The tale is about a fisherman, Solomon Bandy (Djimon Hounsou) living in Sierra Lieone, Africa with his family. Djimon co-starred in the Gladiator & speaks the African language too. An African gang comes to his village & starts to kill many of them in the Blood Diamond (2006) movie.
The scene is reminiscent of the bloody massacres that happened when the Hutu majority tribe performed racial cleansing of the Tutsi tribes in Rwanda. The ruthless RUF (Revolutionary United Front) takes Solomon hostage & forces him to work in a diamond mine in exchange for sparing his life.
A weapons dealer by the name of Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio); sells weapons to the RUF (Revolutionary United Front) & receive payments in uncut diamonds in the Blood Diamond (2006) movie. Having been caught by the authorities trying to go to Liberia, smuggling his payment, Danny ends up in a Sierra Leone police station lock-up. It is certainly an odd scenario seeing Danny as the only non native African in the lock-up.
At first it is unclear where Danny’s (Leonardo DiCaprio) location is when he is taken into custody but anyway, the two of them meet in the Sierra Leone police station lock-up. The reluctant collaboration between the two main characters of the Blood Diamond (2006) movie begins. What interests Danny is a large pink diamond which Solomon (Djimon Hounsou) found in the river mines while Solomon is only concerned about his family’s whereabouts.
Solomon’s (Djimon Hounsou) son, Dia Bandy (Kagiso Kuypers) is taken by the RUF (Revolutionary United Front), possibly forced into recruitment. It is like a hellhole in Sierra Leone where even peaceful cities with big hotels can suddenly become a war zone in an instant. You can see that Solomon Bandy is enthusiastically looking for his family whenever they stumble upon a group of refugees in the in Blood Diamond movie.
Danny (Leonardo DiCaprio) meets with an American journalist, Maddy Bowen (Jeniffer Connelly). At first, he pushes her away as both of them are at odds over their professions. However, they find use for each other as they want to help Solomon find his family, she wants the story about diamonds smuggling from Danny, & Danny wants the diamond from Solomon. They can help find Solomon’s family along the way.
Awww…you can almost cry from their kindness.
Sheeesshh..
PppHHbbbTT!

Both of them have their own agenda which makes them help Solomon. Otherwise, Solomon would be out of the equation & on his own to find his family. Danny & Maddy have a lingering romance in the air between them & it is as though they should be kissing each other already at least.
The Blood Diamond (2006) movie also explores the training of child soldiers in Africa. Young boys are taken from their refugee families. They are told that the RUF (Revolutionary United Front) are their family now. They are trained to kill & execute people, & fed with drugs to make them believe that they are invincible.
It seems like it now two crazy people hiking towards the hidden diamond, without much weapons & in RUF territory. They instill a bond of friendship but he is critically wounded. In a titanic style ending (which he is so every good at), Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) is left behind during the escape; alone to unknown outcomes.
