"The Lucky Ones" (originally titled "The Return") is a 2008 comedy/drama directed by Neil Burger and starring Rachel McAdams, Tim Robbins and Michael Peña. Neil Burger and Dirk Wittenborn are the screenwriters.

Plot

The story revolves around three soldiers — Colee (Rachel McAdams), T.K. (Michael Pena) and Cheever (Tim Robbins) — who return from the Iraq War after suffering injuries and learn that life has moved on without them. They end up on an unexpected road trip across the U.S., with Colee on a mission to bring her boyfriend's guitar back to his family because he saved her life, T.K. seeking confidence to face his wife after a shrapnel injury that threatens his sexual function and middle-aged Cheever planning to hit the casinos in a desperate effort to pay for his son's college tuition.
