The Gulf War plays out in the burning oil fields of Saudi
Arabia as we see how the young soldiers who fought on the ground suffered from
fear, monotony and heat. We watch a battalion of Marine scout snipers whose
mission it is to protect the oil fields. Each man confronts his demons along the
way, while trying to remain sane through sardonic humor. "Jarhead" is a nickname
for the Marines. With Jake Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard, Jamie Foxx, Lucas Black
and Chris Cooper. Directed by Sam Mendes. [1:55 - R]
