This screenplay comes directly from the estate of Nick Frewin. Nick worked with Stanley Kubrick on most of his films in the prop department and as a designer for Kubrick for over twenty-five years. Comes with a letter of provenance. Full Metal Jacket is a 1987 war drama film directed and produced by Stanley Kubrick, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Michael Herr and Gustav Hasford. The film is based on Hasford's 1979 novel The Short-Timers and stars Matthew Modine, R. Lee Ermey, Vincent D'Onofrio and Adam Baldwin.

The film is divided into two parts. The first part follows a platoon of U.S. Marines through their boot camp training in Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, South Carolina, primarily focusing in the first half of the film on privates J.T. Davis and Leonard Lawrence, nicknamed "Joker" and "Pyle", who struggle under their abusive drill instructor Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. The second part of the film takes place in Huế during the Vietnam War. Joker is now a combat photographer, and he witnesses the horrors of war firsthand. He also sees the effects of war on Pyle, who has become a hardened killer. Full Metal Jacket is a powerful and disturbing film that explores the dehumanizing effects of war. It is a harsh and unflinching look at the human cost of conflict. This is a great complement for any Stanley Kubrick collector and especially the significance of having an original production script from Full Metal Jacket. In good condition considering its age. Some crease lines on the top back cover. Small crease on the bottom right front cover.
