“锅盖头”(Jarhead)，海军陆战队员的代称，更应该是年轻人的专利。在变成老油条之前，他们都还不过是血气方刚不谙世事的毛头小伙。按照“惯例”，或许该待在家里，时常看望一下有病的姐姐，与妈妈一起做小蛋糕，早餐与爸爸进行枯燥的谈话，闲来无事考虑着上大学，放学后偷偷与女朋友一块“学习”……应该与其他所有毛孩子一样，过着典型的美国中产阶级生活。不过，当他把发型剪成罐子状，把自己变成“绿色人种”时，他的一辈子注定要走上另一条路了。

海湾战争终于结束了。三个好兄弟阿奇（乔治·克鲁尼 George Clooney 饰）、特洛伊（马克·沃尔伯格 Mark Wahlberg 饰）和埃尔金（艾斯·库珀 Ice Cube 饰）准备在退役前结结实实捞上一笔，那样他们退役后就能舒舒服服地享受人生了。可不要以为他们 在异想天开，其实他们早就在伊拉克听到坊间传闻：总统萨达姆暗中收藏了一批从科威特偷来的黄金在他的秘密碉堡内。恰巧兄弟三人从伊拉克的一名战俘的屁眼处发现了一张萨达姆秘密碉堡的地图，于是三人经过准备，往夺宝之路进发……

With spectacular footage and insider interviews, Frontline reconstructs the events leading up to the war, the war itself, and its aftermath. You'll hear first-hand accounts from key decision-makers like Generals Schwarzkopf and Powell and world leaders like Margaret Thatcher and Mikhail Gorbachev. Desert Storm was a triumph of technology with real-time views of spectacular light shows as antiaircraft fire lit up Baghdad's nighttime sky. After six grueling weeks, the US declared victory, just short of forcing Hussein to step down. Today Hussein remains in power, albeit under close surveillance by American troops remaining in the region. Was it a victory or was it a war with an inconclusive end.

Pat Tillman gave up his professional football career to join the Army Rangers in 2002—and became an instant symbol of patriotic fervor and unflinching duty. But the truth about Pat Tillman is far more complex, and ultimately more heroic, than the caricature created by the media. And when the government tried to turn his death into war propaganda, they took on the wrong family. From her home in the Santa Cruz mountains, Pat’s mother, Dannie Tillman, led the family’s crusade to reveal the truth beneath the mythology of their son’s life and death.
Featuring candid and revelatory interviews with Pat's fellow soldiers as well as his family, Amir Bar-Lev’s emotional and insightful film not only shines a light on the shady aftermath of Pat’s death and calls to task the entire chain of command but also examines themes as timeless as the notion of heroism itself.
