Screenwriter Stephen Wallace reportedly found momentos of this real life WWII court room drama in his father's garage. Japanese soldiers tortured and murdered hundreds of Australian prisoners of war on the island of Ambon in Indonesia. Captain Bob Cooper (Bryan Brown) is the prosecutor who must see that justice is done. Unfortunately, he finds out that some politicians prefer top Japanese military officers escape their due punishment. It has been decided that these guilty men are indispensable in leading Japan into the modern world. Will only lower echelon defendants be found guilty of their crimes? Is such a compromise reconcilable with the dictates of a civilized society---or should we be cynical? Is there even enough proof to present to a court of law? A very young Russell Crowe portrays Lt. Jack Corbett, the prosecutor's right hand man.
