Shooter is a 2007 American action thriller directed by Antoine Fuqua. Mark Wahlberg stars as Bob Lee Swagger, a highly decorated Marine sniper who has retired to a cabin in the mountains after being abandoned by his government during a mission in Ethiopia. When a shadowy colonel, played by Danny Glover, recruits Swagger to help prevent an assassination attempt on the President by identifying potential sniper positions, Swagger is set up as the patsy for the actual assassination of a foreign dignitary and must go on the run to clear his name and expose the conspiracy.

The film was a slickly produced conspiracy thriller anchored by Wahlberg's intense physicality and the detailed, technically accurate depiction of long-range shooting — bullet trajectory, wind calculation, and the patience required for a clean shot were presented with impressive verisimilitude. Michael Pena provided solid support as an FBI agent who comes to believe Swagger's innocence. Shooter earned $95 million worldwide on a $61 million budget.
