This low budget highly-rated film is an intense portrayal of elite soldiers who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: disarming bombs in the heat of combat. This film is a riveting portrait of the courage under fire of the military’s unrecognised heroes: the 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.
