The film, streaming on Plex June 1, is a portrait of men in combat, the Iraq War, and the adrenaline that drives some soldiers to succeed at war, but fail at peace. “The Hurt Locker,” shot in a pseudo-documentary style, won additional Oscars for writing, editing, sound editing, and sound. Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Brian Geraghty, Evangeline Lilly, Ralph Fiennes, David Morse, and Guy Pearce star.
