La marina nord-americana es troba amb un problema: té dos soldats acusats d’haver mort un company en una acció de càstig no autoritzada i vol que l’assumpte es resolgui ràpidament i sense repercussions judicials. Per això nomena advocat defensor el tinent Kaffee, un jove acabat de llicenciar en Dret i amb fama d’eficàcia que, tot i la seva brillantor mental, està més preocupat pel ‘softball’ que per les qüestions legals. El que havia de ser un cas rutinari demostra ser més complex: el soldat mort havia trencat la cadena de comandament denunciant a una autoritat superior uns fets obscurs que va viure a la base de Guantánamo. Kaffee forma equip jurídic amb la comandant Joanne Galloway, que l’impulsa a buscar la veritat per damunt de les conveniències de les autoritats militars que l’han designat.

Documental que desvela les profundes injustícies de l'assistència sanitària als Estats Units. Coneixerem les interioritats d'un sistema de salut corrupte i abusiu, basat en els serveis mèdics que presten les mútues privades, que deixa sense atenció mèdica gairebé 50 milions de ciutadans i que, alhora, maltracta els assegurats escatimant-los les prestacions i la cobertura a què tenen dret. Michael Moore ens presenta diversos exemples dramàtics i els compara amb el tracte que reben els ciutadans que resideixen a països com Canadà, França, el Regne Unit o fins i tot Cuba, que gaudeixen d'un sistema de cobertura sanitària pública gratuïta.
