Based on real events, ‘The Hurt Locker’ is a riveting, heart-pounding portrait of the army’s elite bomb squad, as they search out and disarm roadside bombs on the streets of Baghdad. New staff sergeant, William James (Jeremy Renner), lives for the intense experience - when the margin for error is zero. But with only 30 days left of their tour, James begins to blur the line between bravery and bravado – and it’s only a matter of time before disaster strikes.
