G.I. Jane (1997): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1997, G.I. Jane is an action and drama film directed by Ridley Scott, running about 125 minutes. “Failure is not an option.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. In response to political pressure from Senator Lillian DeHaven, the U.S. Navy begins a program that would allow for the eventual integration of women into its services. The program begins with a single trial candidate, Lieutenant Jordan O'Neil, who is chosen specifically for her femininity. O'Neil enters the grueling training program under the command of Master Chief John James Urgayle, who unfairly pushes O'Neil until her determination wins his respect.

Who’s in it. G.I. Jane stars Demi Moore as Lt. Jordan O'Neil, Viggo Mortensen as Master Chief John James Urgayle, Anne Bancroft as Senator Lillian DeHaven and Jason Beghe as Royce, among others.
