1991's Operation Desert Storm is seen through the eyes of Anthony Swofford, a young U.S. Marine sniper (Jake Gyllenhaal), as he and his fellow "jarheads" wait tensely in the sweltering Arabian wastes, hoping for a ground attack that will, at least, relieve their tension. Peter Sarsgaard, Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper, Scott MacDonald also star in director Sam Mendes' gritty, grunt-level war drama based on the memoir by Swofford. 123 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Two-disc set.
