In this drama, two U.S. Marines who stood side by side on the field of battle are reunited in a court of law. Attorney Hayes Hodges (Tommy Lee Jones) once aspired to a career as an officer, but a serious injury in Vietnam put an end to his military future, leaving him bitter and resentful. Col. Terry L. Childers (Samuel L. Jackson) fought alongside Hodges and once saved his life; when Childers is threatened with a court martial for ordering his troops to fire on civilians during a raid on an American embassy, Hodges is the only lawyer that he can trust, and the case gives Hodges a chance for revenge against the military system that he feels has wronged him. Rules of Engagement also features Kim Delaney, Ben Kingsley, Blair Underwood, and Anne Archer.Special Features:DISC 1 (4KUHD): Brand New HDR Dolby Vision Master – From a 4K Scan of the Original Camera NegativeAudio Commentary with Director William Friedkin5.1 Surround & Lossless 2.0 StereoTriple-Layered UHD100 DiscOptional English Subtitles / Disc 2 (Blu-ray): Brand New HD Master – From a 4K Scan of the Original Camera NegativeAudio Commentary with Director William FriedkinA Look Inside: Interviews with Cast and Crew (13:08)Behind-the-Scenes Featurette (22:35)Theatrical Trailer (2:22)5.1 Surround and Lossless 2.0 StereoDual-Layered BD50 DiscOptional English Subtitles
