Movie Info

Maj. Cargill (Richard Basehart) is accused of aiding his captors while held in a North Korean prison during the war and brought up on charges of treason. Col. William Edwards (Richard Widmark) has been assigned to defend the major in his court martial, but it's not an easy case for the colonel. More than a dozen witnesses are prepared to testify against Cargill, and the major himself admits his guilt.

Critic Reviews for Time Limit

All Critics (2) | Fresh (2)

There have been dozens of actors who tried their one-and-done at directing, never again to venture behind the camera. Often lost in the conversation is Karl Malden.

Matt Brunson
Film Frenzy
The taut direction, finely tuned philosophical screenplay and crisp performances, make this superior courtroom military film a suspenseful and cerebral one."

Audience Reviews for Time Limit

Mar 11, 2010

Good if unexceptional war crimes drama. Solid performances from the always fine Richard Widmark as well as Richard Basehart, Martin Balsam and an impossibly young Rip Torn.

Rip Torn is so young in this one, you won't recognize him! I didn't.
