As Aiken delves deeper into the case, he encounters numerous challenges and obstacles, including a biased military tribunal, witnesses with questionable credibility, and the growing pressure from both the government and the public to secure a guilty verdict. With the help of his colleague, Reverdy Johnson, and key witnesses, Aiken begins to uncover evidence of a larger conspiracy that involves high-ranking officials within the government.
As the trial progresses, Aiken faces personal and professional turmoil, questioning his own beliefs and values in the pursuit of justice.

Directed by Robert Redford, the film combines superb performances, meticulous period detail, and thought-provoking themes to create a compelling narrative about justice, integrity, and the power of standing up for what is right.
