USMC Master Sgt. Thomas Beckett (Tom Berenger) is the best sniper in the Corps, with 74 kills to his record, along with a few dead "spotters" -- fellow Marines of his who didn't survive their daring one-shot raids.
But when the U.S. Government decides that a Panamanian rebel leader is next on Beckett's hit-list, inexperienced Lt. Richard Miller (Billy Zane) -- a soldier with no kills but an Olympic medal for sharpshooting -- is assigned by some Washington pencil-pushers as the spotter for the top-priority mission, creating a great deal of tension between the older sergeant who has no love for life and the younger officer who only wants to keep his ass alive.
