Plot
Philippines, 1945. After four long years at war, Major John Skeen is about to ship home when he receives his final assignment. At a military tribunal created by General Douglas MacArthur, he will head the defense team representing Lieutenant General Masaharu Homma, the notorious 'Beast of Bataan' and presumed architect of the Bataan Death March. With no experience in criminal law and little time to prepare, he and three other GIs must find a way to defend their enemy.
Notes
Masaharu Homma was a general in the Imperial Japanese Army. He is noteworthy for his role in the invasion and occupation of the Philippines during World War II, in which he earned the nick-name, the Tiger of Manila. Homma, who was an amateur painter and playwright, was also known as the Poet General.
