Every man fights his own way.

Starring Oscar winner Jamie Foxx ('Ray' + 'Collateral') and Jake Gyllenhaal ('Brokeback Mountain' + 'Proof'), and directed by Oscar winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty + The Road to Perdition), 'Jarhead' is an irreverent and edgy look at modern warfare from a soldier's point of view.

Adapted from Anthony Swofford's best-selling memoir by Academy Award-winning screenwriter and ex-Marine pilot William Broyles, Jr. ('Apollo 13' + 'Cast Away'), 'Jarhead' is a highly relevant, and confronting tale that brings the gut-wrenching and frightening emotional experiences of war to the forefront.

The film follows "Swoff" (Jake Gyllenhaal), a naive young recruit and his platoon mates from the intensity and camaraderie of boot camp to being shipped to a lonely outpost in a surreal desert setting.

'Jarhead' delivers a militantly apolitical story of hope, frustration, bonding and survival, loaded with first-rate performances from a stellar cast including Peter Sarsgaard ('Kinsey' + 'Garden State') and Academy Award winner Chris Cooper ('Seabiscuit' + 'The Bourne Identity').

Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard, Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper, Lucas Black, and Dennis Haysbert.

Directed by Sam Mendes.
