Summary

The movie begins with Jake Huard (Franco) waking up after being knocked down during a boxing match. He gets back on his feet and defeats his opponent. As he returns home, he sees a picture of his mother and sister and decides to become an officer like his sister.

The next day, Huard quits his job as a boat fixer and gets accepted into the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis by Lt. Cmdr. Burton (Walhberg). At a bar where Huard's friends celebrate Huard's acceptance, one of his friends "swears on his mother" that Huard needs a girl as an escort. Huard meets a young woman named Ali (Brewster) and decides to give her a tour of the Academy during the next time they get together.

Controversy

Upon reviewing the script, the Chief of Naval Information commented:^[1]

This picture was made without the support of the Department of the Navy and the Department of Defense ... the story depicted in the script did not accurately portray the Academy, its standards for training, and its methods of shaping midshipmen mentally, morally and physically for service in the U.S. Navy. Based on this, the producers were not allowed further access to the Academy grounds or provided with any other support for the filming.

Navy personnel should avoid the appearance of support to the film as members of the Department of the Navy. Anyone attending a screening or promotional activity for the film should not attend in uniform.
