Rob Reiner, however, leaves us an important legacy in the form of filmography. Films that marked a generation and a career that still had a lot to offer.

Today is a good time to pay tribute to him by highlighting what was undoubtedly one of his best films and with which he received the greatest recognition of his career: being nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture.

That movie was some good men y, In addition to the queen category, it was nominated for four more awards, the most from the Hollywood Academy for one of Rober Reiner’s works.

The film, a powerful legal drama that was a box office hit in 1992, starred an all-star cast, bringing together names such as Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore and Kevin Bacon in the lead roles.

At the US military base at Guantánamo Bay, Private First Class William T. Santiago is brutally beaten by two comrades and dies. The two perpetrators are charged, and demotivated Navy officer and military lawyer, Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee (Cruise), is assigned as their defense attorney. He holds the current record for out-of-court settlements and has never set foot in a courtroom. However, inexperienced but dedicated Lieutenant Commander JoAnne Galloway (Moore) suspects that a supposed Code Red is behind the act. This is an officer-ordered disciplinary action, still popular among the old guard, but now illegal. After a meeting with the commanding officer at Guantánamo, Colonel Nathan Jessep (Nicholson), Kaffee also begins to believe in a Code Red and, therefore, in his client. However, if he persists, he will have no choice but to confront the decorated Colonel Jessep and jeopardize his own career.
