Story Synopsis:
Based on Aaron Sorkin’s acclaimed Broadway play, this was one of the highest grossing pictures of 1992. This politically-explosive story examines a questionable military procedure involving a secretive “code red” command that resulted in the death of a young Marine on a base in Cuba. There is a memorable climactic courtroom scene between Cruise and Nicholson which won Nicholson an Academy Award® nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
LaserDisc Picture:
The widescreen 2.35:1 frame is beautifully composed. Color fidelity is excellent throughout and flesh tones appear natural.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack lacks the sort of convincing surround that could have bettered the drama with most scenes in mono. The Marc Shaiman music score, however, is superb.
