Was this an American camp run buy an American 'commandant', created to put American soldiers (actually officers if I remember correct) through what might be expected of them if caught and tortured by 'the enemy' in a possible future combat scenario?
Was one of the prisoners a woman?
She was made to strip and was eventually raped by the 'commandant' as part of 'the conditioning' since he had no doubts that this would happen in a real life situation?

Now we all will be CRAZY. We have been trying to find out the name of the movie for days. We have been on IMDb site for days with no success. Do you know the name of any of the characters or even any of the actors names?

Hi propmgr.

I think the title of the movie you are looking for was 'G.I. Jane'. As part of the mock POW camp Demi Moore's character is ALMOST raped, but her buddies knock down their fence and help her, I believe, after she kicks him in his 'special man place'.

Sequoianoir...Please keep thinking. Right now my friend is at the library hoping to track down the title of this movie. He's hoping he will be able to find something about the movie.
P.S. Thanks LadyCatroinia but I don't think the movie is G.I. Jane. That movie is too current.

SUCCESS!!!!! The movie title is 'Opposing Force' aka Hellcamp. It starred Tom Skerritt, Lisa Eichhorn, Anthony Zerbe, Richard Roundtree. It was made in 1986. It was about a group of elite soldiers, including one woman, who sign up for the ultimate training mission. The group parachutes onto a remote island where they are supposed to try to escape.
