Shot Through the Heart is a 1998 television film directed by David Attwood, shown on the BBC and HBO in 1998, which covers the Siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War.

The film is based on a true story and an article called Anti-Sniper by John Falk (published in the November 1995 issue of Details magazine).

[2] The horrors of war are examined from the view points of lifelong friends and expert sharpshooters Vlado Selimović (Linus Roache) and Slavko Stanic (Vincent Perez), who end up on opposing sides of the Bosnian War in Sarajevo.

Vlado, a Muslim married father and successful owner of a furniture factory, rejects his friend's offer to gain an escape from the city.

Vlado soon realizes his friend, an exceptionally skilled marksman, is the enemy sniper responsible for a number of seemingly impossible shots against residents of their own neighbourhood.
