Written and directed by Friedkin and based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Herman Wouk of the same name, 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 (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 leader.
The stacked cast also includes the late Lance Reddick (Fringe), Monica Raymund (Hightown), Lewis Pullman (Outer Range), Jay Duplass (Transparent) and Tom Riley (The Nevers).
