The Longest Yard Movie
Professional quarterback Paul Crewe (Adam Sandler), a former NFL player, and former college champion and coach Nate Scarborough (Burt Reynolds) are doing time in the same prison. Tough warden Hazen (James Cromwell) decides to organize a soccer match between the guards and the inmates and forces Paul to assemble his team. Yet, he tries to persuade Crewe to lose the game in exchange of his early release. The convicts willingly unite when they discover that the guards will be their rivals. They see the forthcoming game as a golden opportunity to exact some revenge on the sadistic warders.
