Starring Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise, and others, this military legal drama is based on a play by Aaron Sorkin and revolves around the court-martial of two US Marines, who are charged with killing a fellow Marine and the corruption and conspiracies that the case unravels. Nicholson’s thundering performance is still remembered and its credit goes to military consultants like Dale Dye, who is a retired US Marine Corps captain and has worked as an advisor on other military-themed films.
