SYNOPSIS
From director Clint Eastwood comes “American Sniper,” starring Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle, whose
skills as a sniper made him a hero on the battlefield. But there was much more
to him than his skill as a sharpshooter.
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 spirit of the SEAL creed to “leave no one behind.” But upon returning to
his wife, Taya (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he
can’t leave behind.
