Aaron Sorkin's explosive military courtroom drama, which was later adapted into a feature film.
Story:
Military lawyer Daniel Kaffee is known for his wit, charm, and uncanny talent for closing cases before they ever get to trial. When assigned to defend two young Marines accused of murder, his typical strategy is upended by Lt. Commander JoAnne Galloway, a sharp attorney determined to prove the men’s innocence. But the evidence soon leads them to a cover-up, putting them on a collision course with the entire chain of command.
Fun Fact
Mr. Sorkin got the idea for the play and movie from his sister, a military lawyer who represented a Marine in a court-martial at Guantánamo. However, Sorkin maintains that the character of Dan Kaffee is entirely fictional and was not inspired by any particular individual.
