How to watch the Sniper movies in order

Tom Berenger's Thomas Beckett launched a long-running military action franchise that has passed the scope to his son Brandon. Here's how to watch all eleven Sniper movies in order.

The Sniper series began in 1993 with Tom Berenger as Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant Thomas Beckett and Billy Zane as his inexperienced partner on a mission in the Panama jungle. What started as a modest theatrical thriller became one of the longest-running direct-to-video franchises, with Chad Michael Collins taking over as Beckett's son Brandon in the 2010s. The films mix tense long-range shootouts with globe-trotting espionage.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order is also the story order, following the Beckett family across three decades of missions.

  1. Sniper (1993)
  2. Sniper 2 (2002)
  3. Sniper 3 (2004)
  4. Sniper: Reloaded (2011)
  5. Sniper: Legacy (2014)
  6. Sniper: Ghost Shooter (2016)
  7. Sniper: Ultimate Kill (2017)
  8. Sniper: Assassin's End (2020)
  9. Sniper: Rogue Mission (2022)
  10. Sniper: G.R.I.T. – Global Response & Intelligence Team (2023)
  11. Sniper: The Last Stand (2025)

Each film is a self-contained mission, but recurring characters and family ties mean the series rewards watching in sequence.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

The first three films follow Thomas Beckett. Reloaded introduces his son Brandon, and from Legacy onward the films build an ongoing story around Brandon, with Tom Berenger returning several times and Billy Zane's Richard Miller reappearing as a mentor figure.

  1. Sniper (1993)
  2. Sniper 2 (2002)
  3. Sniper 3 (2004)
  4. Sniper: Reloaded (2011)
  5. Sniper: Legacy (2014)
  6. Sniper: Ghost Shooter (2016)
  7. Sniper: Ultimate Kill (2017)
  8. Sniper: Assassin's End (2020)
  9. Sniper: Rogue Mission (2022)
  10. Sniper: G.R.I.T. – Global Response & Intelligence Team (2023)
  11. Sniper: The Last Stand (2025)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Watch in release order. The original Sniper is the strongest standalone film, and the later entries lean on recurring characters and callbacks. If you're short on time, watch the original, then jump to Reloaded to follow Brandon's arc through the rest of the series.
