The Incident (1990)

In the midst of World War II, a tranquil small town is jolted by the inexplicable murder of their beloved local physician on the premises of a neighboring military base. A whirlwind of accusations points toward a Nazi prisoner of war, the enigmatic Domsczek, transforming the town's consternation into a seething cauldron of outraged demands for justice. Stepping into this tempest of resentment is Harmon Cobb, a local lawyer weighed down by his own personal grief - the deceased doctor was his closest friend, while his son battles on far-off European shores. In this volatile atmosphere, Cobb is cornered into defending the vilified German prisoner, a task neither his heart nor the town's populace supports. However, as the hastily assembled trial begins, a cryptic note penned by the victim hints at a more intricate story hidden beneath the surface, challenging Cobb's preconceived notions about the case. Struggling to reconcile his personal anguish with his professional integrity, Cobb must navigate through this thorny labyrinth of conspiracy, grief, and social stigma. In a town eager for vengeance rather than truth, Cobb's pursuit of justice for his friend becomes a quest that tests his tenacity, courage, and commitment to the very concept of law. "The Incident" is a poignant exploration of the human spirit, caught in the crossfire of war, prejudice, and the unyielding pursuit of justice.
