The Longest Yard

“It's survival of the fiercest and funniest”

Paul Crewe (Burt Reynolds), a former pro quarterback now serving time, agrees to pull together a team of inmates to play the prison guards. Warden Hazen (Eddie Albert) wants the game thrown in exchange for an early release, and Crewe has to decide whether to take the deal. Robert Aldrich fills the yard with convicts in dusty work clothes, and Crewe stands among them, ball in hand.
