He got court-martialed and was stripped off his rank.

Not only this, he was imprisoned into a military prison that had the highest possible security. His mistake was that he did not paid much attention to presidential order and ordered troops to go on a mission that unfortunately took their lives. Further in The Last Castle he sets on the work of unifying the prisoners and constructing a "castle wall" of stone and mortar. This also helps him to get the respect of his fellow mates.

However this does not appeals to Winter and he tries to destroy the wall through a bulldozer. In the process he also takes away the life of Marine Corporal Ramon Aguilar who protests at the breaking of the wall. The Last Castle movie further proceeds with Winter giving orders to his men to shoot Irwin and on their refusal he turns up to kill him.

The concluding part highlights Winter getting arrested and Irwin handling the flag in the right order. The other cast members included Delroy Lindo as Brig. Gen. James Wheeler, Frank Military as Dr. Lee Bernard, Brian Goodman as Beaupre, Jeremy Childs as Cutbush to name a few of them. The Last Castle movie ran for a duration of 132 minutes. The Last Castle
