The Longest Yard

Disgraced former pro football quarterback Paul Crewe is sent to prison after a drunken night to remember. The prison is run by Warden Hazen, a football nut who spies an opportunity to utilize Crewe's ability at the sport to enhance the prison guards' team skills. After initially declining to help, Crewe is swayed into putting together a team of convicts to take on the guards in a one off match. Thieves, murderers and psychopaths collectively come together to literally beat the guards, but Crewe also has his own personal demons to exorcise.
