Showtime has released a poster and trailer for The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, the late William Friedkin’s adaptation of Herman Wouk’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name.
The drama stars Jason Clarke as a lawyer who reluctantly defends a Naval officer (Jake Lacy) who is accused of orchestrating a mutiny when he took control of the ship during a storm, believing the lives of the crew were in danger after his captain (Kiefer Sutherland) showed signs of becoming unhinged. Watch the trailer below…
Barney Greenwald, a skeptical lawyer, reluctantly defends an officer of the navy who took control of the Caine from its captain, Lt. Philip Francis Queeg (Kiefer Sutherland), while caught in a violent sea storm. As the court-martial proceeds, however, Greenwald increasingly questions if it was truly a mutiny or rather the courageous acts of a group of sailors who could not trust their unstable leader.
The film stars Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Clarke, Jake Lacy, Monica Raymund, Lewis Pullman, Jay Duplass, Tom Riley, and Lance Reddick.
