From director Clint Eastwood comes "American Sniper," starring Bradley
Cooper as Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history.
But there was much more to this true American hero than his skill with a
rifle. U.S. Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one
mission: to protect his brothers-in-arms. His pinpoint accuracy saves
countless lives on the battlefield and, as stories of his courageous
exploits spread, he earns the nickname "Legend." However, his reputation
is
also growing
behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime
target of insurgents. Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his
family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in
Iraq, becoming emblematic of the SEAL creed to "leave no man behind."
But upon returning home, Chris finds that it is the war he can't leave
behind. (C) Warner Bros.
