Jarhead is a 2005 film based on U.S. Marine Anthony Swofford's 2003 Gulf War memoir of the same name, starring Jake Gyllenhaal as Swofford. The title comes from the slang term used to refer to U.S. Marines (sometimes by Marines themselves). The film was directed by Academy Award-winner Sam Mendes, and co-stars Jamie Foxx, Peter Sarsgaard, and Chris Cooper.
