Plot

When you took World War II, US Army Number 1-Lieutenant Thomas Hart (Farrell) is captured by German forces when you took a Battle of the Bulge. He is sent to a prison camp, in which he encounters the mixer & physical struggles of POWs.

Both black pilots are bring around a camp (the just 2 among whiten POWs). Of these is shortly murdered & the more accused of killing a whiten sergeant. A law-student prior to a war, Hart is appointed by Army Col. William McNamara (Willis) to "defend" a accused pilot at his court-martial (where German officers cooperate sustaining a court). A test occurs as sham, acting as a distraction to hide McNamara's plans of escape. A film finishes by having "happy-end": escaped soldiers kill a nearby ammunition plant, the colonel voluntarily comes back to the camp to require all the penalization. a German officer responsible a camp decides does'nt to slaughter a clean-handed captive & the nigrify pilot understands a practical case of how else the justice technique of the America is take a breath to overcome racial tensions.

A motion-picture show's depiction of the previous months of Nazi Germany around WWII was unrealistic; a united states was filled by using mobile columns of refugees & POWs & the German officers inside the camp would will have different priorities than to sit in a mock court.
