I saw The Hurt Locker this week, but didn't know what the title meant and I don't think it was actually mentioned in the movie. I asked my friend Google to fill me in.
hurt locker
noun. a period of immense, inescapable physical or emotional pain.

BBC News has a whole article on the term 'hurt locker.' In it they quote Mark Boal, the film's writer, who said, "It means slightly different things to different people, but all the definitions point to the same idea. It's somewhere you don't want to be."
