Three Kings is a war film released in 1999 and directed by David O. Russell. The movie features a star-studded cast, including George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Ice Cube, and Nora Dunn. The story is set during the Gulf War and revolves around four American soldiers who stumble upon a map that leads to a hidden treasure of Iraqi gold. The group of soldiers, led by Captain Archie Gates (George Clooney), decides to embark on a mission to find the gold.

However, along the way, they come across a group of Iraqi civilians who have been captured and tortured by Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard. The group of soldiers decides to help the civilians and ends up getting involved in the conflict between the Iraqi people and their oppressive government.

The movie expertly blends action, comedy, and drama to create an unforgettable cinematic experience. The characters are all well-developed and each has their own unique personality and story arc.

George Clooney delivers a fantastic performance as the charismatic and cunning Captain Archie Gates. Mark Wahlberg is also outstanding in his role as Sergeant Troy Barlow, a soldier who starts out as naive and inexperienced but ends up becoming a hero.

Ice Cube steals the show as Staff Sergeant Chief Elgin, providing some much-needed comic relief with his sarcastic one-liners and deadpan delivery. Nora Dunn also gives a strong performance as Adriana Cruz, a conflicted journalist who ends up tagging along with the soldiers on their mission.

The movie's cinematography is visually stunning, with a mix of gritty and surreal imagery that captures the chaos and surrealism of war. The action sequences are pulse-pounding and intense, and the movie never shies away from showing the brutal realities of war.

But what makes Three Kings stand out from other war movies is its political commentary. The movie takes a critical look at the United States' involvement in the Gulf War and the impact it had on the Iraqi people. It also explores themes of greed, morality, and the human cost of war.

Overall, Three Kings is an exceptional film that skillfully blends entertainment and social commentary. It's a must-watch for fans of war movies, action movies, and political dramas alike.

Three Kings is a 1999 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 54 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.1 and a MetaScore of 82.
