The Incident is a 1990 American made-for-television drama film directed by Joseph Sargent and starring Walter Matthau and Harry Morgan which was originally broadcast on CBS on March 4, 1990. The film marked Matthau's return to television after over 20 years.
The film was followed by two sequels: Against Her Will: An Incident in Baltimore (1992) and Incident in a Small Town (1994).
The story takes place in the year 1944 in Lincoln Bluff, a fictional, small Colorado town. The Second World War is still raging when the town's only doctor George Hansen (Barnard Hughes), is murdered at a local US Army camp, Camp Bremen, holding German prisoners of war.
Harmon J. Cobb (Walter Matthau), the story's protagonist, is a local lawyer given the task of defending the German prisoner accused of killing the doctor, a man who also happened to have been Cobb's good friend.
