The Hurt Locker

Description

Staff Sergeant William James takes command of a U.S. Army explosive-ordnance team during the final weeks of its rotation in Baghdad. His instinctive methods and tolerance for risk unsettle Sergeant J. T. Sanborn and Specialist Owen Eldridge as each bomb call demands precision and restraint.

The film’s linked missions examine how repeated exposure to danger affects the soldiers’ judgment, relationships and ability to return to ordinary life. Kathryn Bigelow directs Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie and Brian Geraghty from Mark Boal’s original screenplay.
