JARHEAD / THE KINGDOM / STEALTH
3-disc boxset containing a triple-bill of films starring Jamie Foxx.
JARHEAD
Young
recruit Swofford (Jake Gyllenhaal) joins up with the US Marines
(nicknamed 'Jarheads' because of their distinctive haircuts) on the eve
of the 1990 Gulf War. After a brutal spell in boot camp, during which
Swofford and his fellow recruits are systematically geared up for the
conflict, the Marines are dispatched to the deserts of the Persian Gulf
to take part in a war that sees them required to do very little in the
way of fighting. Bored and frustrated in the middle of nowhere, the
young soldiers resort to a macabre sense of humour as they wait for the
war to happen to them. Foxx plays Staff Sergeant Sykes.

THE KINGDOM
A
terrorist bomb detonates inside a Western housing compound in Riyadh,
Saudi Arabia, and ignites an international incident. While diplomats
slowly debate equations of territorialism, FBI Special Agent Ronald
Fleury (Foxx) quickly assembles an elite team and negotiates a secret
five-day trip into Saudi Arabia to locate the madman behind the bombing.
Upon landing in the desert kingdom, however, Fleury and his team
discover Saudi authorities suspicious and unwelcoming of American
interlopers into what they consider a local matter. Hamstrung by
protocol, and with the clock ticking on their five days, the FBI agents
find their expertise worthless without the trust of their Saudi
counterparts who want to locate the terrorist in their homeland on their
own terms. Fleury's crew finds a like-minded partner in Saudi Police
Captain Al-Ghazi (Ashraf Barhom), who helps them navigate royal politics
and unlock the secrets of the crime scene and the workings of an
extremist hell bent on further destruction.

STEALTH
A
team of US Navy pilots are part of a close-knit elite division of test
pilots flying highly classified stealth fighter jets, referred to only
as Talons. They're the best of the best and they know it. Then their
commanding officer Captain George Cummings (Sam Shepard) introduces the
team to its new wingman - an artificial intelligence-based UCAV
(Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle), nicknamed 'EDI.' Although Ben (Josh
Lucas) is hesitant about taking 'the human pilot out of the equation of
war,' Cummings orders the team to execute its first real mission
alongside 'EDI.' To the team's amazement, 'EDI' proves to be a
cracker-jack wingman and they successfully eliminate their target. But
on the return trip to their base aboard the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Carl
Vinson, 'EDI' is struck by lightning. The drone's brain expands in ways
its creators could never have predicted. Despite Ben and Henry (Foxx)'s
reservations, Cummings declares 'EDI' ready to rejoin the team in the
air. On their next mission against a nuclear-armed warlord in a remote
Chinese province, 'EDI's' seriously compromised circuitry problems only
get worse. Ben decides that the risks of the attack far outweigh the
benefits to himself, Henry and Kara (Jessica Biel). When he aborts the
mission, 'EDI' goes against orders and executes the hit anyway. The
danger escalates when 'EDI' decides to execute a top-secret mission
that, if successful, could spiral into worldwide nuclear Armageddon. And
only Ben can prevent it
