In this dramatic courtroom thriller, Lt. Daniel Kaffee, a Navy lawyer who has never seen the inside of the courtroom, defends two stubborn Marines who have been accused of murdering a colleague.

Sure, the Aaron Sorkin-authored plot hits the requisite beats, but the principal pleasures of this prime ‘90s courtroom drama lie in the work of its star trifecta: Nicholson, Moore, Cruise—each working to outbid the other in the scene-stealing stakes. They really don’t make ’em like they used to.
