Main Branch
Auditorium 152 mins. 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.
