<p>The Oscar-winning director and screenwriter of The Hurt Locker are asking a US federal judge to dismiss an Iraq war veteran&#8217;s lawsuit alleging that the film is based on him.</p>
<p>Lawyers for director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal argue in papers filed in Los Angeles that Master Sergeant Jeffrey Sarver cannot prove he is the basis for the bomb technician in the film.</p>
<p>They also argue in the court papers that the movie is protected by the First Amendment.</p>
<p>The film&#8217;s producers have also asked to have M/Sgt Sarver&#8217;s lawsuit dismissed.</p>
<p>The case was filed in March 2010, just days before Bigelow, Boal and the film won Academy Awards.</p>
<p>M/Sgt Sarver&#8217;s lawyer, Todd Weglarz, was not available for comment.</p>
<p>According to court documents, M/Sgt Sarver is currently deployed in Afghanistan.</p>
