A man is called by the military to defend himself against long-ago charges of criminal misconduct in this made-for-cable
drama based on a novel by
Nelson DeMille.
Ben Tyson (
Don Johnson) has done well for himself 30 years after his tour of duty in Vietnam -- he's a successful businessman and happily married to a beautiful woman,
Marcy (
Sharon Lawrence). But
Tyson's contented life is shattered when a book is published accusing him of being responsible for a bloody ambush in a field hospital that took the lives of a number of Vietnamese civilians.
Tyson is recalled to duty by the army to answer these charges in a court martial. As his professional and personal lives begin to buckle under the strain,
Tyson must defend his actions, as well as his responsibilities to his comrades and himself, to prosecutor
Major Karen Harper (
Jeanne Tripplehorn).
Don Johnson's son,
Jesse Johnson, plays the young
Ben Tyson in Vietnam flashback sequences.
