The film is written and directed by Andrew Niccol for Vendôme Pictures, according to sources from Deadline.

"Lords of War" continues the narrative of Yuri Orlov (Cage), the infamous arms dealer, as he discovers he has a son named Anton (Skarsgård).

The film revolves around the bitter rivalry between Yuri and Anton, who find themselves in conflict not only over their shared business but also a woman.
