Lt. Tommy Hart (Colin Farrell), a second-year law student, enlists in World War II as an officer's assistant due to his father's political aspirations.
On the eve of the war, Hart was captured and thrown into a German POW camp, where he discovered that in addition to the war between American prisoners and German soldiers, there was also a war of color between whites and blacks.
Colonel William McNamara (Bruce Willis), the highest-ranking prisoner of war in the camp, assigns him to a black prisoner of war accused of murdering his white companion -- Lincoln Scott (Lincoln Scott, Terrence Howard) Lieutenant Defense. A white captive was killed in the middle camp, a black soldier was charged, and Hart was appointed by the Germans as a lawyer to defend the black soldier.
Between personal honor and national interest, the duty of a soldier and his own beliefs, human nature appears to be contradictory and tossed. The war forced Hart to make a decision that would go against his principles of being human.
In fact, all wars are silent wars of humanity, and such theme mining has also become one of the biggest highlights of the film.
The final outcome was unexpected, but it was also worth remembering.
