Blood on the Sun (1945), starring James Cagney and directed by Frank Lloyd, is a gripping wartime espionage thriller set in pre-World War II Japan. Cagney plays Nick Condon, a hard-nosed American journalist working for the Tokyo Chronicle who uncovers the infamous “Tanaka Plan,” a secret Japanese strategy for global domination. As he fights to publish the story, Condon faces deadly resistance from the Japanese government and its agents. Known for its dynamic action sequences, political tension, and Cagney’s energetic performance, the film combines patriotic fervor with noir-style intrigue. Produced by William Cagney Productions, it won an Academy Award for Best Art Direction and has since become a cult classic for its bold anti-fascist message and thrilling pace.
