Death of a Soldier

Death of a Soldier is a 1986 Australian historical crime drama film directed by Philippe Mora and starring James Coburn, Bill Hunter and Reb Brown. It dramatizes of the case of Eddie Leonski (Brown), an American soldier stationed in Australia who committed a string of serial killings in May 1942. The investigation and trial, which was conducted by U.S. military authorities instead of Australian civil ones, contributed to the development of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, but also inflamed Australian-American relations during the war.
