The Lords of Discipline

“The Institute's Code of Honor: A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal or tolerate those who do. It is a simple code. It is a stern code. It is also a lie.”

Will McLean (David Keith) comes back to a Deep South military academy for his final year in the 1960s, a cadet who has learned how to keep his head down. The administration asks him to look after Pearce, the first Black student the school has admitted, and Will soon sees the threat is The Ten, a secret group of elite cadets. Roddam holds Will in his dress uniform at attention, the academy's gray walls rising behind him.
