''The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial'' is a 2023 legal drama film directed by Creator/WilliamFriedkin in his final film. It was based on Creator/HermanWouk's play of the same name, itself adapted from ''Literature/TheCaineMutiny''. Unlike the 1988 adaptation by Creator/RobertAltman, which uses the script of the play without changes, the newer film updates the setting to 2022 during the waning days of UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror.
After U.S. Navy Captain Philip Queeg (Creator/KieferSutherland), commander of the U.S.S. ''Caine'', is relieved of command by his X.O. Stephen Maryk (Creator/JakeLacy) during a violent storm, Maryk is put on trial for mutiny. Maryk is defended by the reluctant lawyer Barney Greenwald (Creator/JasonClarke), who is skeptical that the mutiny was justified. Nevertheless, Greenwald investigates during the trial whether the mutiny was necessary - and if the respected Queeg was qualified for the position.
The film also stars Creator/LewisPullman, Creator/LanceReddick in one of his final roles, and Creator/MonicaRaymund.

** Like in the original novel, play, and film, Greenwald is a fighter pilot brought in to defend Maryk because he previously attended law school. With each branch of the modern US military maintaining a professional JAG Corps, there'd be no need to second a fighter pilot with no practical legal experience to defend the case, especially for a charge as serious as mutiny.
