Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for director Clint Eastwood's American Sniper, and holy crap! This is going to be an amazing film. Bradley Cooper stars as Chris Kyle, who is known as "the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history." But there's a lot more to his story than just that, and this movie will tell it. This trailer is intense as hell and very unique as it leaves you in complete suspense. I don't recall ever seeing a trailer that left me on the edge of my seat like this. It looks like Eastwood and Cooper have made an amazing movie.
U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission: to protect his brothers-in-arms. His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and, as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname “Legend.” However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of insurgents. He is also facing a different kind of battle on the home front: striving to be a good husband and father from halfway around the world.
Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, personifying the SEAL creed to “leave no man behind.” But upon returning to his wife, Taya Renae Kyle (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind.
The movie also stars Sienna Miller, Jake McDorman, Luke Grimes, Navid Negahban, and Keir O’Donnell. It's set to be released in theaters on January 16th, 2015.
