Home of the Brave is a 2006 drama film following the lives of four American soldiers in Iraq and their return back to the United States. The movie was shot in Morocco and in Spokane, Washington. During the film, local police officers and citizens participate as extras.
The film has received an MPAA rating of R for violence and language.
Aspects of the plot, characters, and dialogue are notably similar to The Los Angeles Theatre Ensemble's 2005/2006 stage production of Wounded, the story of four soldiers attempting to assimilate into civilian life after receiving physical and psychological injuries while serving in Iraq.
