The Hurt Locker is about an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit in Iraq. The EOD unit gets a new leader, Sgt. William James, played by Jeremy Renner. Sgt. James is reckless and it worries the other two men in the unit who are close to being done with their tour in Iraq. Basically, the EOD unit gets called out to dispose of bombs throughout Iraq, while being shot at by the enemy. It's a great movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat because you don't know if they're going to make it or not. I liked the movie, but I don't think it was the best movie of the year. I think that Avatar and District 9 were both better movies and more deserving of the Oscar for Best Picture.

Here is the plot of Hurt Locker:

During the post invasion period in Iraq in 2004, Sgt. 1st Class William James a veteran becomes the team leader of a U.S. Army Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) unit. He replaced Staff Sgt. Thompson who was killed by a remote-detonated explosive device in Baghdad.
He joined with Sgt. J.T. Sanborn and specialist Owne Eldridge who duty is to communicate with their team leader via radio inside his bombsuit, and provide him with rifle cover while he examines IEDs. During their mission of disarming IEDs Jame's unorthodox methods lead Sanborn and Eldridge to think of him as reckless. So there is tension that mounts between James and the other two members. When they raided a warehouse that contains a large amount of explosives, James discovers the mutilated body of a young boy. He was upset because he believes the boy to be "Beckham" a young Iraqui he had befrriended who is selling DVDs.

----quote---
In the aftermath of a large car bomb, James leads the EOD team to look for the perpetrators among the alleys of a village. After they separate and try to shoot the insurgents, Eldridge is captured. The other two track down and kill two insurgents who detonated the bomb and who are dragging Eldridge. He was accidentally shot in the leg during the action. He is airlifted to a hospital in Germany to have surgery to repair his shattered leg. Eldridge blames James for his injury, referring to Sanborn's suggestion that the mission, which James had ordered, would have been better suited for an infantry platoon.

The next morning, James is approached by Beckham. The young boy tries to converse with James, who walks by without saying a word. After James fails to remove and disarm a time-bomb strapped to an Iraqi civilian's chest because he ran out of time, the Iraqi dies in the explosion. Sanborn later becomes emotional and confesses to James that he can no longer cope with the pressure of being in EOD. He looks forward to finally leaving Iraq and starting a family.
