The play is based on actual events that took place at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in 1986. It raises questions about the Marine code of conduct and the military establishment. The play opened on Broadway in 1989. In 1992, it was adapted into a motion picture, starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and Demi Moore. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.
