In the aftermath of World War II, bootstrap career soldier Maj. Jock Sinclair (Alec Guinness) was ordered to stand down from his regimental command in favor of aristocratic academic Lt. Col. Basil Barrow (John Mills). The thorny transition would place the mismatched officers in a fateful clash for the hearts and minds of the battalion.
