Three Kings

1999, 111 minutes, Rated R

March 1991, the Iraqi Desert. The Gulf War has ended and for most of the soldiers at the American base camp, it never started. With no chance of any action, they kill time instead of the enemy. Then a small group of soldiers discovers a map reputedly leading to a huge cache of gold stolen by Saddam Hussein from Kuwait and hidden somewhere near the desert base. The plan is simple: the group will secretly leave at dawn, retrieve the gold and be back by lunch. It was a good plan - in theory. Prepare for action adventure unlike you've experienced before: this war with a witty edge, a twist of irony and totally in-your-face combat, starring George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube. "Three Kings is a great, great movie, it is essentially an action flick, yet with intellect, integrity and heart oozing from every open wound." - Leigh Paatsch, Daily Telegraph
