The 2005 film, Lord of War, is purportedly based, at least in part, on allegations about Bout's personal history and black-market activities.

In 2007 Stephen Braun and Douglas Farah published a book about Bout, Merchant of Death: Money, Guns, Planes, and the Man Who Makes War Possible.

Famous quotes containing the word media:

    One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.
