Years later, and still suffering the psychological trauma of his wartime experiences, Lomax is persuaded by his wife Patti (Nicole Kidman) to find and confront one of his captors. Accompanied by his best friend (Stellan Skarsgard), Lomax returns to the scene of his torture and manages to track down his captor, Japanese officer Takashi Nagase (Hiroyuki Sanada), from the prison camp, in an attempt to let go of a lifetime of bitterness and hate."
