The Hurt Locker is a 2009 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. Because the film was not originally released in the United States until 2009, it was eligible to be judged for the 82nd Academy Awards where it was nominated for nine Academy Awards. It won six Oscars including Best Director for Bigelow, the first woman to win this award. It also won Best Picture, beating out the current highest grossing film of all time, Avatar, and Best Original Screenplay for Boal. The Hurt Locker also earned numerous awards and honors from critics' organizations, festivals and groups, including six BAFTA Awards.

The Hurt Locker (2008)

Plot: 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. Sergeant First Class William James, a battle-tested veteran, arrives as a new 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, who is killed by a radio-controlled 155mm improvised explosive device (IED) in Baghdad. The rest of his team consists of Sergeant J.T. Sanborn and Specialist Owen Eldridge, who guard him as he works in his bombsuit disarming IEDs. James's maverick methods and attitude lead Sanborn and Eldridge to consider him reckless, and tensions mount. When they are assigned to destroy some of the explosives in a remote desert area, James returns to the detonation site to pick up his gloves. Sanborn openly contemplates killing James by "accidentally" triggering the explosion, making Eldridge very uncomfortable, but does nothing. Driving back to the Camp Victory in their Humvee, the team encounter a Ford Excursion with a flat tire and five men clad in Arab garb. After a tense initial encounter, the men reveal themselves to be British mercenaries.

The Hurt Locker (2008)

They have captured two prisoners featured on the most-wanted Iraqi playing cards. The entire group suddenly comes under fire and takes cover. When the prisoners attempt to escape in the confusion, the leader of the mercenaries (Ralph Fiennes) suddenly remembers the bounty for them is "dead or alive", so he shoots them. During the encounter three of the mercenaries are killed, including the leader; Sanborn and James manage to dispatch three attackers, while Eldridge kills a fourth. During a raid on a warehouse, James discovers the body of a young boy which has been surgically implanted with an unexploded bomb. James believes it to be "Beckham", a young Iraqi DVD seller he had previously befriended. During evacuation, Lieutenant Colonel Cambridge, the camp's psychiatrist, is killed in an explosion and Eldridge blames himself for asking the Colonel to accompany them. Later, James leaves the military compound seeking revenge, but his search leads to nothing. Called to the nighttime scene of a petrol tanker detonation in order to carry out an assessment, James decides on his own to hunt for the insurgents responsible, guessing they are still in the immediate area. Sanborn protests, but when James heads out, he and Eldridge reluctantly follow.
