At the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Marines Dawson and Dorney were charged by the government with the murder of Marine San Diego. Santiago's training performance is not good, the room is untidy, and he often falls behind in running. He is a problem soldier in the eyes of the commander, and he is not liked at all. On the contrary, the two Dawson are excellent players. Santiago wrote a letter to base leaders not long ago, expressing his strong desire to be transferred from the base, and also mentioned the violation of military discipline by reporting Dawson's unprovoked shooting at the border.

Dawson and Dorney were investigated by a female attorney, Galloway, before U.S. Navy lawyer Kaffey and assistant Sam were placed in the case. As the investigation progressed, Kafi gradually sorted out the truth of the case, that is, Santiago himself did not behave well and betrayed his teammates. Therefore, the base commander Colonel Jessup ordered his captain to arrange for someone to enforce the red military regulations for Santiago, and the execution The people were Dawson and Donnie. Originally, the matter was very simple. As long as Dawson and Donny pleaded guilty, they could be released from prison for up to two years. However, Dawson and Dawson refused to plead guilty. They believed that they were just executing orders and completing tasks.

Under the strong suggestion of Galloway's female lawyer, Caffey gradually changed his mind, and he was willing to help Dawson and Dorney, two innocent soldiers. In court after court, Donny did not take the order, he took Dawson's order, Dawson took the captain's order, and Colonel Jessup refused to admit that he issued the red military regulations, and dealt with it. Watertight. There was also a lieutenant colonel who was informed of everything, disappeared at a critical moment, reappeared later, and committed suicide the day before he was due to appear in court. Colonel Jessup was about to become a member of the Safety Committee, a high position and a tough relationship.

At this point, Caffee had no witnesses in his hands, and now he was faced with two choices, either to let Colonel Jessup testify in court, or to give up asking the colonel to appear in court. Only if the colonel himself admitted that he issued the red military regulations, Kafei can win, otherwise, Kafei will be sent to a military court for slandering the leadership. After repeated consideration, Kaffi finally summoned up the courage to gamble on his wealth and future. After repeated deliberation and all kinds of aggressive tactics, the old fox Jessup finally showed his feet. However, the last two soldiers were innocent but had to be sent home, and the captain became the scapegoat.

    There are many references to NIS (predecessor of NCIS). . . Tom is so handsome in there! ! The ending is also very interesting, but unfortunately I will never understand the loyalty of these soldiers to MARINE CORPS, semper fi...

A Few Good Men quotes

  • Galloway: [after sensing his contempt for Dawson and Downey after court has adjourned for the day] Why do you hate them so much?

    Lt. Weinberg: They beat up on a weakling; that's all they did. The rest is just smokefilled coffee-house crap. They tortured and tormented a weaker kid. They didn't like him. So, they killed him. And why? Because he couldn't run very fast.

  • Capt. Ross: [in a bar, after Danny just walked up to Jack's table] Hey, Danny! Great job today. The redirect on Barnes.

    Kaffee: I have Markinson.

    Capt. Ross: Where is he?

    Kaffee: Motel room in North East with six federal marshalls outside his door. Take a sip of your drink.

    Kaffee: The transfer order that Markinson signed is a phony. Jessup's statement that the 6am flight was the first available is a lie. We're checking the tower chief's log.

    [to waitress]

    Kaffee: I'd like a beer, please.

    [to Ross]

    Kaffee: In the mean time I thought we'd put the Apostle John Kendrick on the stand and see if we can't have a little fun.

    Capt. Ross: Alright. I have an obligation to tell you that if you accuse Kendrick or Jessup of any crime without proper evidence then you're going to be subject to a court martial for professional misconduct and that is something that's going to be stapled to every job application that you ever fill out. Markinson's not going to hold up, Danny, he's a crazy man! Now, I'm not telling you this to intimidate you I'm being your lawyer here.

    Kaffee: Oh, thanks, Jack. And I want to tell you that I think the whole fucking bunch of you are certifiably insane! This code of honor of yours makes me want to beat the shit out of something!

    Capt. Ross: Don't you dare lump me in with Jessup and Kendrick just because we wear the same uniform. I'm your friend and I'm telling you, I don't think your clients belong in jail but I don't get to make that decision! I represent the government of the United States without passion or prejudice and my client has a case! There you go. Now I want you to acknowledge that the Judge Advocate has made you aware of the possible consequences of accusing a Marine officer of a felony without proper evidence.

    Kaffee: I've been so advised.

    Capt. Ross: You got bullied into that courtroom, Danny, by everyone. By Dawson. By Galloway. Shit, I practically dared you. You got bullied into that courtroom by the memory of a dead lawyer.

    Kaffee: [shouting as Jack leaves] You're a lousy fucking softball player, Jack!

    Capt. Ross: Your boys are going down, Danny. I can't stop it anymore.
