A marine has died after being attacked by two soldiers, so at first this appears to be a routine homicide case.

But, when military investigator Tom Cruise thinks the men were ordered to carry out the attack, he falls foul of Colonel Jack Nicholson, who wants to keep a lid on the situation...

This slick, gripping and powerful courtroom drama is fuelled by high-octane performances from charismatic Cruise, Nicholson and Demi Moore.
