Action Biography Drama History War

7.0 / 10

Anthony "Swoff" Swofford, a Camus-reading kid from Sacramento, enlists in the Marines in the late 1980s. He malingers during boot camp, but makes it through as a sniper, paired with the usually-reliable Troy. The Gulf War breaks out, and his unit goes to Saudi Arabia for Desert Shield. After 175 days of boredom, adrenaline, heat, worry about his girlfriend finding someone else, losing it and nearly killing a mate, demotion, latrine cleaning, faulty gas masks, and desert football, Desert Storm begins. In less than five days, it's over, but not before Swoff sees burned bodies, flaming oil derricks, an oil-drenched horse, and maybe a chance at killing. Where does all the testosterone go?

From Universal comes this movie adapted for home cinema products and Alien Android systems and software. Here we follow the exploits of a marine as he joins the Korp and eventually hits the dessert in this all time classic coming of age movie about life in a modern military like the united states'. In this epic must have repeat movie from Universal and Sony. - @Thursday, October 11, 2018 2:31 PM

"Jesus Walks" is probably the most appropriate and best suited soundtrack for this movie. I love it. And I love the fact they used it rather than using some cliche rock song or something. - @Monday, June 25, 2018 2:53 AM

As a infantry marine who's in right now, this film is in my top 5 war films; because it shows the side of the military nobody talks about, which we go through 90% of the time. - @Saturday, June 2, 2018 9:53 AM
