In 1944, Capt. Josiah J. Newman is the doctor in charge of Ward 7, the neuropsychiatric ward, at an Army Air Corps hospital in Arizona. The hospital is under-resourced and Newman scrounges what he needs with the help of his inventive staff, especially Cpl. Jake Leibowitz. The military in general is only just coming to accept psychiatric disorders as legitimate and Newman generally has 6 weeks to cure them or send them on to another facility. There are many patients in the ward and his latest include Colonel Norville Bliss who has dissociated from his past; Capt. Paul Winston who is nearly catatonic after spending 13 months hiding in a cellar behind enemy lines; and 20 year-old Cpl. Jim Tompkins who is severely traumatized after his aircraft was shot down. Others come and go, including Italian prisoners of war, but Newman and team all realize that their success means the men will return to their units.

Movie Parental Guide

nudity Very mild. One character discretely suggests that a woman should sleep with her husband in order to help him come out of his psychological state. She tells him that she does not feel the need to prostitute herself. Some mild kissing is shown. A man mentions that a woman has a lovely neck.
violence In the film's most intense scene, a man climbs to the top of a water tower and jumps off committing suicide. The film doesn't show his impact, but he is shown starting to jump. There are no sound effects, but the music in this scene is fairly dramatic. A man threatens to kill himself with a knife and a prolonged fight scene occurs in which two men try to take the knife from him. Some comic violence throughout involving falls and hard lumps, but no blood. Some non-graphic stories are told involving violence during war time.
profanity Scattered d-words and h-words.
alcohol Mild drinking throughout. Two characters are shown drunk.
frightening The suicide scene is mildly intense. One scene where a man starts smashing a chair against a wall repeatedly may also be considered frightening.
