"Sniper" follows a soldier positioned in a tree, waiting to ambush an enemy force approaching through a valley, relying on his rifle and patience to strike without warning.

A squad of raw Marine recruits discover what it truly means to be a gyrene when they storm a heavily defended island and face the full horror of combat—from beachhead to jungle to cave-by-cave warfare.

By the time replacements arrive and their battle is over, the survivors have transformed from drafted civilians into seasoned fighting men.

In this brutal test of a soldier's mettle, Johnny discovers what it truly means to serve his country.
