Le Sergent Noir
Arizona, 1881. Le Sergent Rutledge, soldat noir, est accusé du viol d'une jeune fille blanche et du meurtre de son père. Il est alors jugé en cours martiale. Qui de l'accusation, qui dresse un portrait accablant et raciste du sergent, ou de Mary Beecher, seul témoin à décharge, saura convaincre le juge et faire éclater la vérité ?
