Death of a Soldier (1986)
Gebaseerd op een waargebeurd verhaal, speelt James Coburn een militaire advocaat die de opdracht krijgt een bekende psychotische moordenaar te verdedigen. Het speelt zich af in de context van de Tweede Wereldoorlog en de ongemakkelijke Amerikaans-Australische militaire alliantie. De beschuldigde moordenaar beweert drie vrouwen te hebben vermoord om hun stem te bezitten. Ondanks de zorgen van de advocaat dat de moordenaar niet geschikt is om terecht te staan, gaat het Amerikaanse leger door met de zaak en zijn wens om de moordenaar te laten executeren om de wankele alliantie te versterken.
