A Captain's Honor (fr|L'Honneur d'un capitaine) is a 1982 French war film directed by Pierre Schoendoerffer.
A courtroom-drama about a dead Captain whose memory is publicly accused by a historian on TV, twenty years after his death. The story follows his widow's struggle to prove that he was not a murderer and did not practise torture while he was leading a ground unit during the Algerian war.
She decides to sue the man who accused him of being a torturer and thus begins an investigation which retraces the Captain's last two weeks, day by day.
The film uses numerous flashbacks depicting battle scenes in Algeria.
