Synopsis

Lt. Tommy Hart is a second-year Harvard Law School student who enlists to fight in World War II but ends up being taken prisoner by the Germans. When a murder at the Nazi-run Stalag Luft 13 leaves a black Tuskegee airman named Lt. Lincoln Scott accused of the crime, high-ranking prisoner Col. William McNamara persuades camp commandant Col. Werner Visser to allow the prisoners to hold their own trial. Hart is recruited to defend his fellow officer, but as he reluctantly investigates, he discovers that not all of his fellow allied soldiers are fighting the same war and that his client may well have been framed.
