Rules of Engagement (2000)


Rules of Engagement is a 2000 military drama directed by William Friedkin (The French Connection) that stars Samuel L. Jackson as USMC Colonel Terry Childers, who finds himself facing a court-martial after ordering his troops to open fire on a crowd of civilian protesters during the evacuation of the US embassy in Sana'a, Yemen. Tommy Lee Jones co-stars as Hayes Hodges, a soon to be retired Marine Colonel and JAG lawyer whom Childers saved in Vietnam and now who must defend him in court.



The following weapons were used in the film Rules of Engagement:

AKMS Rifle

The AKMS is used by the Yemeni protesters during the siege of the U.S embassy in Sana'a.

In several shots, the AKMS rifles are fitted with PSO-1 scopes as used on the SVD Dragunov sniper rifle.
