Three Kings DVD 1999 George Cooney Mark Wahlberg Ice Cube

Set in the aftermath of the 1991 Persian Gulf War, the story follows four American soldiers who are bored and disillusioned: Major Archie Gates (George Clooney), a cynical Special Forces officer nearing retirement. Sergeant Troy Barlow (Mark Wahlberg), a reservist who is worried about his civilian life. Staff Sergeant Chief Elgin (Ice Cube), a pragmatic soldier with a family back home. Private First Class Conrad Vig (Spike Jonze), a reckless, jobless young man. They discover a secret map hidden on an Iraqi prisoner which allegedly shows the location of a huge cache of gold bullion that was stolen from Kuwait by Saddam Hussein's regime. Motivated by greed and a desire to get a personal "payday" from the war, the four men go AWOL (Absent Without Leave) and embark on a secret heist mission to steal the gold and change their futures. However, once they reach the bunker where the gold is hidden, their simple snatch-and-grab operation is drastically complicated. They encounter Iraqi civilians who are part of the uprising against Saddam Hussein, only to witness them being brutalized and executed by the Iraqi Republican Guard. Confronted with the stark reality of the conflict's human cost and their government's policy of non-intervention in the internal uprising, the soldiers are forced to make a profound moral choice: DVD’s may have minor surface scratches and or smudges. All DVD’s are tested for read errors and or play tested to ensure proper playback.
