| The Hurt Locker is a riveting, suspenseful portrait of the courage under fire of the military's unrecognized heroes: the technicians of a bomb squad who volunteer to challenge the odds and save lives doing one of the world's most dangerous jobs. Three members of the Army's elite Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) squad battle insurgents and one another 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 psychology of bomb technicians and the effects of risk and danger on the human psyche is a fictional tale inspired by real events by journalist and screenwriter Mark Boal, who was embedded with a special bomb unit in Iraq. |
《拆彈部隊》情節(jié)緊張，引人入勝，講述了一組在戰(zhàn)火中顯示大無畏精神的拆彈專家的故事。他們甘冒奇險，為了拯救生命做著世界上最危險的一份工作；他們是軍隊里的英雄，但他們的故事鮮為人知。影片聚焦美國陸軍爆炸物處理精英小組的三個成員，為了確保伊拉克平民和當?shù)孛绹娙说纳踩麄冊诎透襁_街頭搜尋并解除了一波又一波路邊炸彈。在與伊拉克反叛武裝做斗爭的同時，他們?nèi)齻€人也彼此有著一番“較量”。他們的任務很明確，就是保護、挽救生命，但這絕不是一件容易的事，因為在戰(zhàn)區(qū)里拆除炸彈是不容許出任何差錯的。這部虛構的影片透視了拆彈專家的心理，刻畫了險境對人類心靈的影響，扣人心弦又讓人膽戰(zhàn)心驚；而這些都源自記者也是本片的編劇馬克?鮑爾的所見所聞，他曾被特派到伊拉克，深入一支特殊的拆彈部隊做戰(zhàn)地記者。 |
| During the early stages of the post-invasion period in Iraq in 2004, Sergeant First Class William James, a battle-tested veteran, becomes the team leader of a U.S. Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit, replacing Staff Sergeant Thompson, who was killed by a remote-detonated 155mm improvised explosive device (IED) in Baghdad. He joins Sergeant J.T. Sanborn and Specialist Owen Eldridge, whose jobs are to communicate with their team leader via radio inside his bombsuit, and provide him with rifle cover while he examines IEDs. During their missions of disarming IEDs and engaging insurgents together, James's unorthodox methods lead Sanborn and Eldridge to consider him reckless. Tensions mount between James and the other two team members. During a raid on a warehouse, James discovers the dead body of a young boy who has been surgically implanted with an unexploded bomb. James believes it to be "Beckham", a young Iraqi merchant he had previously befriended. |
2004年，也就是美軍占領伊拉克后不久，陸軍上士威廉?詹姆斯——一位身經(jīng)百戰(zhàn)的老兵——接任美國陸軍爆炸物處理小組組長。前任組長是參謀軍士湯普森，在巴格達一次拆彈任務中，一只遙控引爆的155毫米口徑自制炸彈使他失去了生命。與詹姆斯一起工作的是中士桑伯恩和特種兵艾綴奇，他們的任務就是在詹姆斯檢查炸彈裝置的時候，通過詹姆斯防爆服里的無線電與他進行交流，同時為他提供步槍掩護。無論是一起拆除爆炸裝置還是與伊拉克反叛武裝交戰(zhàn)，詹姆斯總是背離傳統(tǒng)程序，桑伯恩和艾綴奇因此覺得他很魯莽。詹姆斯和他的這兩名隊員之間的緊張情緒也有增無減。一次，突擊搜查一家倉庫，詹姆斯發(fā)現(xiàn)了一具小男孩的尸體，這個孩子的身體里被植入了一顆尚未引爆的炸彈。詹姆斯將這具尸體錯認為是一個和他關系不錯的伊拉克小孩，那個名叫貝克漢姆的孩子曾經(jīng)向他兜售過商品。 |
| As the EOD team tracks down and kills two insurgents, Eldridge is accidentally shot in the leg. The next morning, James is approached by Beckham. The young boy tries to converse with James, who walks by without saying a word. Being airlifted for surgery, Eldridge blames James for his injury, referring to Sanborn's suggestion that the mission, which James had ordered, would be better suited for an infantry platoon. |
后來，這個爆炸物處理小組追蹤（另一起爆炸事件的起因），殺死了兩個反叛武裝人員。就在這次意外中，艾綴奇的腿部中了槍。第二天早上，（真正的）貝克漢姆走近詹姆斯試圖跟他搭話，詹姆斯卻一句話也沒應就走開了。艾綴奇被空運接受手術治療，他責備詹姆斯沒有聽取桑伯恩的建議才害他受傷，詹姆斯下達的這個任務本應該由一個步兵排去完成。 |
| After failing in a mission to remove and disarm a time-bomb strapped to an Iraqi civilian's chest, Sanborn becomes emotional and confesses to James that he can no longer cope with the pressure of being in EOD, and he looks forward to finally leaving Iraq and starting a family. James returns home to his wife and child and is shown quietly performing the routine tasks of suburban civilian life. One night James confesses to his infant son that there is only one thing that he knows he loves. He is next seen back in Iraq, ready to serve another 365 days as an EOD team member with Delta Company. |
一次，他們幫助一個伊拉克平民拆除捆綁在胸膛上的定時炸彈。這次拆彈沒有成功，桑伯恩情緒很激動，他向詹姆斯坦露，他再也承受不了在爆炸物處理小組工作的壓力了，他期望最終離開伊拉克并成立自己的家庭。詹姆斯回到了妻子和孩子身邊，在郊區(qū)過著安寧的平民生活。一天晚上，詹姆斯對著年幼的兒子坦露心聲，只有一件事他是真的喜歡。這之后，他又回到伊拉克，再次加入Delta Company成為爆炸物處理部隊的隊員，開始了新一輪365天的服役生活。
