Skeptical lawyer Barney Greenwald (Eric Bogosian) grudgingly defends Lt. Steve Maryk (Jeff Daniels), a navy man who wrestled control of a ship from its domineering captain, Lt. Cmdr. Philip Francis Queeg (Brad Davis), in the midst of a violent storm at sea. As the court martial progresses, Greenwald begins to wonder if the events aboard the U.S.S. Caine were truly a mutiny, or merely the brave acts of a faithful group of sailors who could no longer trust their unstable leader.

Alain E @AlainE May 20 A brilliant legal drama. Very good depiction of the protagonists both in defense and in prosecution. One watches with absorption events occurring in a basketball court that has been reclaimed as a courtroom. There is a cynical turnaround in the final scene. The only element I would eliminate is the irritating drumming that is the musical accompaniment between witnesses. See more 03/01/2020 VERDICT: CONDUCT - QUITE BECOMING! With deference to the commendable job done by this entire ensemble in delivering the sheer breadth of dialogue here so entertainingly, along with masterfully executed work, particularly of Mssr's Daniels, Bogosian, Gallagher, and Murphy (suitability morose - he was also having a banner year with cable's TANNER '88), along with director Altman and his crew, the true Court Martial should've been of Brad Davis' largely unconvincing and overtly theatrical, though at times, suitability unsettling depiction of an unraveling Captain Queeg. See more 07/11/2014 Much better than most TV dramas. The story unfolds solely through testimony a few months after the incident. See more 03/14/2011 Altman! Who knew? This is great.
