Taps is a 1981 American drama film directed by Harold Becker. The story follows a group of military school cadets who are deeply affected by the death of their beloved headmaster, Colonel Kerby. As they struggle to cope with their grief, the cadets decide to take matters into their own hands and protect their school from being turned into a condominium complex.
The film stars George C. Scott as the headmaster, along with Timothy Hutton, Tom Cruise, and Sean Penn in early roles. Taps explores themes of loyalty, honor, and the consequences of violence, as the cadets' actions escalate into a standoff with the National Guard.
With its powerful performances and thought-provoking storyline, Taps remains a poignant and relevant film that continues to resonate with audiences today.
