SYNOPSIS

Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and Demi Moore star in Rob Reiner's unanimously acclaimed drama about the dangerous difference between following orders and following one's conscience. Cruise stars as a brash Navy lawyer who is teamed with a gung-ho litigator (Moore) in a politically-explosive murder case. Charged with defending two Marines accused of killing a fellow soldier, they are confronted with complex issues of loyalty and honor - including its most sacred code and its most formidable warrior (Nicholson). Superbly directed, with a trio of powerhouse performances and an outstanding supporting cast including Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Noah Wyle.
