Written and directed by the late William Friedkin and based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Herman Wouk, the 109-minute film follows Lt. Steve Maryk (played by The White Lotus‘ Jake Lacy), a U.S. naval first officer who is standing trial for orchestrating a mutiny after his captain, Lt. Philip Francis Queeg (A Few Good Men alum Kiefer Sutherland), shows signs of becoming unhinged and jeopardizes the lives of his crew during a violent sea storm.
As the trial progresses, Lt. Maryk’s defense attorney, naval lawyer Barney Greenwald (Jason Clarke), becomes increasingly concerned and questions if the events aboard the Caine were a true mutiny, or simply the courageous acts of a group of sailors who did not trust their unstable, fidgets-with-bearing balls leader.
Watch Greenwall grill Queeg about some of Maryk’s claims in the sneak peek above.
The cast for The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial also includes the late Lance Reddick (as Captain Blakely, chief judge of the court-martial), Monica Raymund (Hightown), Lewis Pullman (Outer Range), Jay Duplass (Transparent) and Tom Riley (The Nevers).
