"MUTINY"
Sunday, March 28 9pm -- NBC
On Sunday, March 28, 9 pm, NBC Television presents "Mutiny", a special movie of the week chronicling the events surrounding the 1944 Port Chicago incident, a drama based on actual events that raises questions of honor, heroism and courage during wartime.
Michael Jai White ("Spawn"), Duane Martin ("Scream 2") and David Ramsey ("Con Air") portray members of the doomed unit assigned to load the one of the two destroyed ships.
The story follows three young black naval enlistees from boot camp to the aftermath of the explosion. It explores their coming of age in the arduous military environment; the strong friendships they forge through adversity; and their political and moral awakening borne from the disaster and subsequent trial.
The production also features Adrian Pasdar ("Profit"), Joe Morton ("Speed"), Matthew Glave ("The Wedding Singer") and James Sikking ("Hill Street Blues").
"Mutiny" is executive produced by three-time Oscar nominee Morgan Freeman ("The Shawshank Redemption," "Driving Miss Daisy," "Street Smart"), Lori McCreary ("Bopha!") and David Israel ("Pandora's Clock," "Turks"). Anthony Santa Croce ("Felicity") is the producer; Kevin Hooks ("Passenger 57," "Glory & Honor") directed from a teleplay by award-winning writer Jim Henerson ("The Love Letter," "Tempest").
Revelations Entertainment and Big Dog Productions, in association with NBC Studios, are proud to bring this important story to the screen.
