    The film begins with the arrival of Robert E. Lee Prewitt (played by Montgomery Clift) at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii, where he meets an old friend, Private Angelo Maggio (Frank Sinatra). The company commander, Captain Dana Holmes (Philip Ober), knowing that Prewitt is a talented boxer, urges him to join the company boxing team. Prewitt refuses, having given up the sport after having accidentally blinded a sparring partner. Sergeant Milton Warden (Burt Lancaster) urges Prewitt to reconsider, but Prewitt is adamant. Under orders from Holmes, the men in Prewitt’s company begin a campaign of harassment against Prewitt, though Maggio remains a loyal friend.

    In the meantime, Warden finds himself attracted to Holmes’s wife, Karen (Deborah Kerr), and they begin an affair. In one of the most famous scenes in movie history, Warden and Karen make love on the beach, and Karen later tells him about Holmes’s philandering and drunken neglect of her. Elsewhere, the soldiers have gone to a club, where Prewitt meets the hostess Lorene (Donna Reed) and is smitten. Later, Sergeant “Fatso” Judson (Ernest Borgnine) insults Maggio, and a fight breaks out but is quickly broken up by Warden. On a subsequent weekend pass, Prewitt goes to see Lorene, who tells him that her real name is Alma. Maggio arrives, in uniform and drunk, having walked off guard duty. He is court-martialed and sentenced to six months in the stockade, which is overseen by Judson. Karen urges Warden to become a commissioned officer so that she can divorce Holmes and marry him, but Warden is reluctant. Later, at Alma’s cottage, Prewitt proposes, but Alma wants a husband with a more prestigious job than career soldier. He returns to the base, where Sergeant Ike Galovitch (John Dennis) begins throwing punches at Prewitt. Eventually Prewitt fights back, and he nearly knocks Galovitch out before Holmes intervenes.
