| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
The Hurt Locker, winner of the 2008 Venice Film Festival SIGNIS
Grand Prize, is a riveting, suspenseful portrait of the courage
under fire of the military’s unrecognized heroes: the
technicians of a bomb squad who volunteer to challenge the
odds and save lives in one of the world’s most dangerous
places. Three members of the Army’s elite Explosive
Ordnance Disposal (EOD) squad battle insurgents and each other
as they search for and disarm a wave of roadside bombs on
the streets of Baghdad—in order to try and make the
city a safer place for Iraqis and Americans alike.
Their mission is clear—protect and save—but it’s
anything but easy, as the margin of error when defusing a
war-zone bomb is zero. This thrilling and heart-pounding look
at the effects of combat and danger on the human psyche is
based on the first-hand observations of journalist and screenwriter
Mark Boal, who was embedded with a special bomb unit in Iraq.
These men spoke of explosions as putting you in “the
hurt locker.”
