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 him
than his skill as a sharpshooter.
U.S. Navy SEAL 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. He is also facing a
different kind of battle on the home front: striving to be a good husband and
father from halfway around the world.
Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at
home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, personifying
the SEAL creed to “leave no man behind.”
But upon returning to his wife, Taya Renae Kyle (Sienna Miller), and
kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind.
A two-time Oscar nominee for his work in “Silver Linings
Playbook” and “American Hustle,” Cooper heads the cast, which also includes
Sienna Miller (HBO’s “The Girl”), Jake McDorman, Luke Grimes, Navid Negahban
and Keir O’Donnell.
Oscar-winning filmmaker Clint Eastwood (“Million Dollar
Baby,” “Unforgiven”) is directing “American Sniper” from a screenplay written
by Jason Hall, based on the book by Chris Kyle, with Scott McEwan. The autobiography was a runaway bestseller,
spending 18 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, 13 of those at number
one.
