The movie Three King is about three solders fighting in the Persian Gulf War. After America signed the peace accord with the Iraq government, four men branched off trying to search for the Kuwait gold. The men end up finding the gold, but they go through many obstacles, and struggles to keep it. Unfortunately they lose a men in the process (Conrad Vig), and loose all of the 24 million. With the help of a newscaster the men were fortunate enough to safely escort a group of Iraq refugees into Iran, and made it home to America safely. Overall the movie was pretty good, there were defiantly some boring scenes that could have been better produced, but Ice-T's acting made up for that lost.

The reason for the war between Iraq and Iran is the rise of the rebellion in Iraq against the Shaw. When Saddam Hussein heard about the rebellion he didn't want the same result to become of him, so he attacked Iraq. The war lasted approximately 8 years between the two countries, and by the end the agreed on a truce. Saddam was so broke at this point, because of the war that he attacked the small country of Kuwait just south of Iraq. Kuwait is basically a big oil pit, and that's why Saddam felt he could make his money. The United Nations however got their act together, and were able to prevent Iraq from attacking Kuwait.
