From the director of Boys Don't Cry, Kimberly Peirce, comes Stop-Loss, an intense drama about decorated Iraq war hero Sgt. Brandon King, who makes a celebrated return to his small Texas hometown following his tour of duty. He tries to resume the life he left behind with the help and support of his family and his best friend, Steve Shriver, who served with him in Iraq. Along with their other war buddies, Brandon and Steve try to make peace with civilian life. Then, against Brendon's will, the Army orders him back to duty in Iraw, which upends his world. The conflict tests everything he believes in: the bond of family, the loyalty of friendship, the limits of live and the value of honor.
