Rising Sun is a 1993 film directed by Philip Kaufman. The film stars Sean Connery (who was also the executive producer), Wesley Snipes, Harvey Keitel and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. Kaufman, Michael Crichton and Michael Backes wrote the screenplay, which was based on Crichton's novel Rising Sun.

Lt. Web Smith (Snipes) is a police detective called in to investigate the death of an American woman at a party in the offices of a Japanese corporation. Former police captain John Connor (Connery) tells him that there's more going on than meets the eye.

The Japanese release of the movie has an edited dialogue between Web Smith and Jingo Asakuma. In the original version, Jingo says, "Do you know the term 'hisabetsu burakumin'?", referring to burakumin minority in Japan. In the Japanese release, the original dialogue is replaced by "Do you know the term 'racial prejudice'?" No other changes to the dialogue were made.
