Generation Kill

1 Seasons | 7 Episodes | TV-MA

This seven-part HBO miniseries focuses on the first 40 days of the war in Iraq as seen through the eyes of an elite group of US Marines.

In the northern desert of Kuwait, First Recon Marines prepare to invade Iraq as the "tip of the spear" for Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Having survived its first trial by fire, Bravo is ordered to capture an airstrip controlled by Iraq's Republican Guard.

Having raced to capture the airfield, First Recon is miles ahead of the rest of the US force and has time to rest and regroup.

As they scope a tiny hamlet, the men of Bravo are frustrated by the capricious nature of the war.

Outside of Al Kut, Captain America is overeager in his attempts to subdue a prisoner, leaving the men more disillusioned.
