This motion picture is the very suspenseful story about a black cavalry soldier who is brought to trial for the brutal rape of a woman who was the daughter of his commanding officer. His court appointed attorney knows that the way the community and Army feels about black people in the 1850s, Sergeant Rutledge doesn't stand a chance for a fair trial. Sergeant Rutledge knows this too, so he escapes the Army platoon that is escorting him to the court martial, so he can have time to gather evidence to clear his good name. Excitement and suspense highlight this movie.
