Shooter is a 2007 American conspiracy action thriller film directed by Antoine Fuqua based on the novel Point of Impact by Stephen Hunter. The film concerns a former U.S. Marine Scout Sniper, Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg), who is framed for murder by a rogue secret private military company unit. It was released in cinemas on March 23, 2007. Gunnery Sergeant Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg), a Force Recon Marine Scout Sniper, is on a recon mission in Africa with his spotter, Lance Corporal Donnie Fenn (Lane Garrison). During the mission, the duos Commander orders the mission to be shut down, leaving Swagger and Fenn as expendable. Swagger survives by managing to fend off an enemy helicopter, but Fenn is killed. 36 months later, Swagger reluctantly leaves a self-imposed exile from his isolated mountain home at the request of Colonel Isaac Johnson, who appeals to him to help track down an assassin who is planning to shoot the president. Johnson gives him a list of three cities where the President is scheduled to visit and Swagger assesses a site in Philadelphia as the most likely. This turns out to be a set-up; while Swagger is working with Johnsons agents to find the rumored assassin, the Ethiopian archbishop is instead shot while standing next to the president.
