“Hart’s War” is a 2002 war drama film directed by Gregory Hoblit, based on the novel of the same name by John Katzenbach. The film stars Colin Farrell, Bruce Willis, and Terrence Howard.
Set during World War II, the story follows Lieutenant Tommy Hart (Colin Farrell), a young American soldier who is captured and sent to a German POW camp. There, he finds himself entangled in a complex legal situation when a fellow prisoner, an African American soldier, is accused of murder. Hart, who is a law student, is appointed to defend him in a makeshift court held by the prisoners.
As Hart navigates the challenges of the camp and the prejudices of the time, he must confront his own beliefs and the harsh realities of war. The film explores themes of justice, honor, and the moral complexities faced by soldiers in captivity.
