Synopsis

Adam Sandler and Chris Rock star in THE LONGEST YARD, a comic story of a former pro quarterback trying to make good in the toughest possible situation.

When former NFL player Paul Crewe (Adam Sandler) is sent to prison, the warden forces him to transform a group of inmates into a football team.

Unlikely team mates, the convicts unite when they find out who they are playing: the guards. With the help of fellow inmates Nate Scarborough (Burt Reynolds) and Caretaker (Chris Rock), Crewe promises the cons a chance to exact revenge in a bone-crushing showdown where anything goes. The Mean Machine returns to the gridiron in this new take on the 1974 classic.
