TORONTO — The NBC reporter who became known as the Scud Stud during the first Gulf War has settled a lawsuit against the makers of “Charlie Wilson’s War” over footage used in the Tom Hanks-Julia Roberts movie.

Arthur Kent, whose live reports on Iraq’s Scud missile attacks on Saudia Arabia made him a celebrity, claimed in a lawsuit filed last April that Universal Studios and other violated his intellectual property rights by using without his consent segments of a 1986 news program he made about the Soviet Union’s war in Afghanistan.

Terms of the settlement are confidential.
