In the late 1980s, Anthony Swofford enlists as a Marine, training in boot camp and eventually deploying to Iraq during the Gulf War. Swoff and his fellow Marines sustain themselves with sardonic humanity and wicked comedy on blazing desert fields in a country they don't understand against an enemy they can't see for a cause they don't fully grasp.

Oscar winner Jamie Foxx (Collateral, Ali) and Jake Gyllenhaal (The Day After Tomorrow, Donnie Darko) star in this critically acclaimed portrayal of a group of young "jarheads" during the explosive days of the Gulf War. From the Academy Award - winning director of American Beauty, Jarhead is a powerful story, told with painful honestly and irreverence. With spectacular cinematography.

Jarhead is released on 4K UHD and 4K UHD SteelBook 8th December 2025 from Universal Pictures (UK).
