The Hurt Locker is an American war film about a three man United States Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team during
the Iraq War. The film was directed by Kathryn Bigelow and the screenplay was written by Mark Boal, a freelance writer who was
embedded as a journalist in 2004 with a US bomb squad in Iraq. It stars Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, and Brian Geraghty as
members of the EOD unit and follows their tour of duty as they contend with defusing bombs, the threat of insurgency, and the tension
that develops among them.

The film was shot in Jordan within miles of the Iraqi border, because Bigelow wanted to bring greater authenticity to the film. This
benefited filming by supplying many Iraqi refugees for extras and the unmistakable heat of the Middle East.

The Hurt Locker premiered at the Venice Film Festival in Italy during 2008. After being shown at the Toronto International Film Festival,
it was picked up for distribution in the United States by Summit Entertainment. The film was released in the United States on June 26,
2009 but received a more widespread theatrical release on July 24, 2009.

Because the 2008 film was not originally released in the U.S. until 2009, it was eligible to be judged in the 82nd Academy Awards held in
2010. It was nominated for nine Academy Awards and won six including Best Picture and Best Director for Bigelow, the first woman to
win this award.

The Hurt Locker also earned numerous awards and honors from critics' organizations, festivals and groups, including six BAFTA Awards.



The Hurt Locker opens with a quotation from War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, a best-selling 2002 book by New York Times
war correspondent and journalist Chris Hedges: "The rush of battle is a potent and often lethal addiction, for war is a drug."All the words
fade except for the last four.

The story depicts how the fictional character Sergeant First Class William James, a battle-tested veteran, becomes a team leader in Bravo
company of a U.S. Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit during the early stages of the post-invasion period in Iraq in 2004,replacing
Staff Sergeant Thompson, a character who was killed by a radio-controlled 155 mm improvised explosive device (IED) in Baghdad. The
fictional team consists of Sergeant J.T. Sanborn and Specialist Owen Eldridge, whose jobs are to communicate with their team leader via
radio inside his bombsuit, and provide him with rifle cover while he examines IEDs. During their missions of disarming IEDs and engaging
insurgents together, James's unorthodox methods lead Sanborn and Eldridge to consider him reckless. Tensions mount between James and
the other two team members. During a raid on a warehouse, James discovers the dead body of a young boy who has been surgically implanted
with an unexploded bomb. James believes it to be "Beckham", a young Iraqi merchant he had previously befriended.

Later, James orders his team to pursue three insurgents responsible for a recent explosion. Sanborn protests that the task should be left to the
three infantry platoons in the area, but James overrules him. During the operation, Eldridge is shot in the leg. The next morning, James is approached
by Beckham. The young boy tries to converse with James, who walks by without saying a word. Being airlifted for surgery, Eldridge angrily
blames James for his injury.

After failing in a mission to remove and disarm a time bomb strapped to an Iraqi civilian's chest, Sanborn becomes emotional and confesses
to James that he can no longer cope with the pressure of being in EOD, and he looks forward to finally leaving Iraq and having a son. James
returns home to his wife and child and is shown quietly performing the routine tasks of suburban civilian life. But the boredom of normal life
easily agitates James. One night James confesses to his infant son that there is only one thing that he knows he loves. At the close of the film
he is seen going through another tour serving with Delta company of an EOD unit as they are just starting their 365 day rotation.
