One of the most highly touted war films in recent memory, The Hurt Locker is a riveting, extraordinary story of courage and survival on the Baghdad bomb squad. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow from a script by journalist and screenwriter Mark Boal, who researched the material in Iraq, where he was embedded with the U.S. Army bomb squad in 2004.
