US Army Staff Sergeant Will James, Sergeant J.T. Sanborn and Specialist Owen Eldridge comprise the Bravo Company's bomb disposal unit stationed in Baghdad. James is the tech team leader. When James arrives on the scene, Bravo Company has thirty-nine days left on its current deployment. It will be a long thirty-nine days for Sanborn and Eldridge whose styles do not mesh with their new leader. James' thrill of the dismantlement seems to be the ultimate goal regardless of the safety of his fellow team members, others on the scene or himself. On the other hand, Sanborn is by the books: he knows his place and duty and trusts others in the army to carry out theirs as well as he. Eldridge is an insecure soldier who is constantly worried that an error or misjudgment on his part will lead to the death of an innocent civilian or a military colleague. While the three members face their own internal issues, they have to be aware of any person at the bomb sites, some of who may be bombers themselves.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Very moving submitted by Daniel Saltzman on March 16, 2010, 7:17pm There is a reason this movie beat out Avatar at the 2010 Academy Awards- it inspires emotions through more than pretty pictures and is original. Not for the faint of heart, this movie bluntly explores some of what it means to be in EOD in the Middle East, without being colored by propaganda or throwing in pointless side plots to please viewers. Watch it, but keep your 10 year-old in their room.
