Why Three Kings (1999) Still Stands Out

Set in Iraq just after the 1991 Gulf War, the film follows a group of American soldiers who go after a hidden stash of gold and end up caught in the fate of the civilians around them. Russell wrote the screenplay from a story by John Ridley.

George Clooney gives one of his sharpest lead performances in Three Kings, alongside Mark Wahlberg, Ice Cube and Spike Jonze, with Cliff Curtis, Nora Dunn and Jamie Kennedy in support. The film opened in the US on October 1, 1999.

Roger Ebert gave it four stars and named it the third-best film of 1999. It earned about 107.7 million US dollars worldwide on a budget of roughly 48 million.

On the Three Kings Blu-ray, the 2.40:1 widescreen image shows the desert landscapes in far more detail than standard definition, and the lossless DTS-HD Master Audio track gives the action scenes real punch. Our guide to physical media vs streaming explains why owning the disc still matters.
