Academy Award winner Paul Newman stars as a Korean War prisoner of war who returns home a hero only to face a court martial as a collaborator in this riveting drama based on true events. During the war, the North Koreans employed psychological torture to break Allied prisoners of war. For some reason, Americans cracked under the North Koreans' torture more often than soldiers from other countries. Now, Edward Hall, Jr. (Newman) returns home with the burden of his knowledge that his brother died a hero in the war, but he was one of the men who was broken... and after years of torture, he now faces a military tribunal.
