Review of Black Rain

Set against the economic battles and general anti-Japanese sentiment of the late-80s and early-90s, (even Die Hard briefly touched on it before the mayhem ensued), Black Rain and it's nearly-identical plot twin, Rising Sun, stirred the pot, using a veil of mystery surrounding Japanese culture as a plot mechanism, to push a pro-American point-of-view. Dated for it's plot and, given how much the world has opened in the digital age, it's interesting in the way we look at those buried time capsules after they're unearthed.
