Kiefer Sutherland Is Captain Queeg-Meets-Colonel Jessup in Trailer for The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial
Jason Clarke’s naval lawyer is skating on thin ice as he grills Kiefer Sutherland’s esteemed Lt. Commander Queeg in the trailer for The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, which will make its Paramount+ With Showtime debut on on Friday, Oct. 6, then get a linear airing Sunday, Oct. 8 a 9/8c, on Showtime.
Written and directed by the late William Friedkin and based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Herman Wouk, 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 (A Few Good Men alum 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 (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, fidgets-with-bearing balls leader.

In the trailer above, Sutherland’s Queeg — played in the 1954 film adaptation by Humphrey Bogart, of course — roars with righteous indignation when put on the stand, while the late Lance Reddick’s Captain Blakely, chief judge of the court-martial, does his best to keep everyone in line.
The cast for The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial also includes Monica Raymund (Hightown), Lewis Pullman (Outer Range), Jay Duplass (Transparent) and Tom Riley (The Nevers).
