At the US naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, two marines, Dawson and Doni, were accused of killing another soldier, Santiago. Navy lawyer Daniel Caffe (played by Tom Cruise) and his assistant Sam were assigned to take over this case. They investigated that San Diego had hoped to be transferred away from the base and had also reported Dawson. Kafi had intended to seek out-of-court mediation to secure a two-year prison sentence. However, the two soldiers insisted on their innocence. Their actions against Santiago were in accordance with the "red code" issued to them by their superiors. The so-called red regulations are a kind of admonition regulations tacitly approved by officers and privately conducted by soldiers. Cafi, Sam and another female lawyer, Galloway (played by Demi Moore), form the defense lawyers to conduct the investigation. Colonel Jesse (played by Jack Nicholson), the base commander, is the key figure in this case. He rejected San Diego's transfer application and issued a "red rule" against him. Afterwards, he privately tampered with the flight records. Although Kafi knew the truth, he was troubled by the lack of evidence. Under such circumstances, if he pointed out Colonel Jessup, it would even bring him trouble. What will be the outcome of this lawsuit concerning justice?[Collapse]
