As Lord of War opens, Yuri Orlov tells us that there are enough guns in the world to arm one out of every twelve people on the planet. He wants to get guns to the other eleven.
That is because Orlov is a gunrunner. He supplies weapons to armies and rebels, to despots and freedom fighters, drug lords and war lords. He doesn’t care who he sells them to. He knows if he doesn’t sell them, someone else will. He’s good at what he does. He knows who to bribe. He knows how to falsify documents so that everything seems legal.
 The film is a rather preachy look at the level of armaments in the world and at the geopolitics that drive the gun trade. Munitions are indeed big business, both legal and illegal (and often somewhere in between). Governments are the largest suppliers of weapons. (The film notes that the five members of the UN Security Council are the largest dealers.) There are private dealers such as is portrayed in Orlov to fill in the gaps where governments don’t want to be involved or be seen as being involved.
