Plot Summary: Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) is one of the finest snipers that has ever held a rifle for the United States Army. After a disastrous mission, he retreats into a self-imposed exile somewhere in the wilderness of Arkansas. When a former superior, Colonel Isaac Fitzsimmons Johnson (Danny Glover), attempts to lure him back to help out with an important mission, Swagger reluctantly accepts. His task is to utilize his knowledge to scope out potential spots where an attempt to assassinate the U.S. President could take place and to help the military stop any such efforts. Eventually, an anonymous assassin’s failed attempt leaves Swagger with a couple of bullets in his body and with the authorities convinced that Swagger is the culprit responsible. Now he must go on the run to avoid capture, to try and clear his name, and to find those guilty of framing him. His one aid at the FBI will be agent Nick Memphis (Michael Pena), a former sniper himself, who has stumbled onto facts that force him to question the suspicious conduct of his peers during the investigation and pursuit of Swagger.
