Rules of Engagement (2000)

In the gritty world of military action and legal intrigue emerges Colonel Terry Childers, a battle-hardened Marine veteran bearing the weight of honor from Vietnam, Beirut, and Desert Storm. His valor is matched only by the severity of the charges he now faces from the nation he has faithfully served. A rescue mission gone disastrously awry leaves him in the crosshairs of a controversial trial that threatens to tarnish his legacy. On the other side of the courtroom is Hayes Hodges, a fellow Marine and disillusioned lawyer grappling with his own shattered career dreams, born from wounds sustained in the jungles of Vietnam. Despite his reservations about his legal prowess, Hodges owes an unpayable debt to Childers, the man who saved his life amid the chaos of war three decades prior. Bound not only by the stringent rules of military duty but by the unspoken law of brotherhood, Hodges finds himself reluctantly drawn into a legal battle that pits him against the very institution they both served. As the trial intensifies, Hodges must combat his own rising doubts about Childers, the man who once stood as his savior. "Rules of Engagement" is a captivating blend of military action and courtroom drama, a tale of loyalty tested and friendships strained, where heroes may be villains and rescue can lead to ruin.
