Book tickets

A young Marine sniper awaiting action in the Gulf War experiences the loneliness and frustrations of combat while worrying about home and his future.

"Sam Mendes’ Jarhead is interesting to me, because it is a war film that depicts the ways in which war films impact real warfare. In particular, how Vietnam films informed the hopes and expectations of soldiers fighting in Desert Storm." – Tanoa Sasraku
