The hurt locker [videorecording] / Summit Entertainment presents in association with Voltage Pictures, Grosvenor Park Media, LP. and F.C.E.F. SA., a Voltage Pictures/First Light/Kingsgate Films production ; a Kathryn Bigelow film ; produced by Kathryn Bigelow, Mark Boal, Nicolas Chartier, Greg Shapiro ; written by Mark Boal ; directed by Kathryn Bigelow.
US Army Staff Sergeant Will James, Sergeant J.T. Sanborn and Specialist Owen Eldridge comprise the Bravo Company's bomb disposal unit stationed in Baghdad. James is the tech team leader. When he arrives on the scene, Bravo Company has thirty-nine days left on its current deployment, and it will be a long thirty-nine days for Sanborn and Eldridge whose styles do not mesh with that of their new leader. James' thrill of the dismantlement seems to be the ultimate goal regardless of the safety of his fellow team members, others on the scene or himself. On the other hand, Sanborn is by the book: he knows his place and duty and trusts others in the army to carry out theirs as well as he. Eldridge is an insecure soldier who is constantly worried that an error or misjudgment on his part will lead to the death of an innocent civilian or a military colleague. While the three members face their own internal issues, they have to be aware of any person at the bomb sites, some of whom may be bombers themselves.
