Summary: When faced with torture,
your courage and honor will be tested! After two years of law school
at Harvard, Lt. Tommy Hart (Colin Farrell) enlists in the Army but soon
becomes a POW after an ambush. This experience leaves him devastated and ostracized at
Stalag Luft 13 by Colonel McNamara (Bruce Willis) who knows that Hart has
betrayed his countrymen and lied about what really happened during his
interrogation. To make matters worse, two African-American
Lieutenants are assigned to Hart's bunk and the deadly racism that
ensues. Unknowingly, Hart is drawn into a plot beyond his
imagination to defend Lt. Scott for the murder of Staff Sergeant Vic
Bedford. The question is, what will Hart decide to do when all the
facts lie before him? Will he learn the meaning of courage and honor
when his life is at a stake once again?
