The Incident is a 1990 American made-for-television drama film directed by Joseph Sargent and starring Walter Matthau, with supporting roles by Harry Morgan and Susan Blakely.
However, to preserve his hard-earned standing as a top-notch attorney, he begins to build a nominal defense by asking several of Geiger's subordinates who are also prisoners at Camp Bremen to act as character witnesses.
However, when a local acquaintance comes forward with more information, Cobb begins to suspect that not only is Geiger innocent, but that Hansen's death is only the tip of the iceberg in illicit operations at Camp Bremen.
John J. O'Connor gave the film a positive review in The New York Times, deeming it "a first-rate production".
Although he found that a number of details in the script did not make sense, he praised the historical authenticity of both the story and the production, as well as Matthau's immense presence in the lead role.
