American Sniper is a 2014 American biographical war drama film directed by Clint Eastwood and written by Jason Hall.

The film follows the life of Kyle, who became the deadliest marksman in U.S. military history with 255 kills from four tours in the Iraq War, 160 of which were officially confirmed by the Department of Defense.
