"Stop-Loss" (2008)
Decorated Iraq war hero Sgt. Brandon King makes a celebrated return to his small Texas hometown following his tour of duty. Brandon 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. Alongside their war-time buddies, Brandon and Steve try to make peace with civilian life. Then, against Brandon’s will, the Army orders him back to duty in Iraq. This upends Brandon’s entire world. The conflict into which he is thrown tests everything he believes in: the bond of family, the loyalty of friendship, the limits of love, and the value of honor.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Plays Soldier in "Stop-Loss"
Joseph Gordon-Levitt didn’t have much in common with his character, but that didn’t stop him from wanting to be involved in Peirce’s film. “Tommy's just about as different a character to my own personal stuff as I maybe have ever played,” explained Gordon-Levitt. “I was brought up by peace activists. I was blessed with a family that loved and supported me. Tommy, I think, was not so fortunate.”
