Life

1999

It's 1932; Ray (Eddie Murphy) is a small-time hustler, and Claude Banks (Martin Lawrence) is a bank teller with a taste for gambling. When Ray picks Claude's pocket to pay off a debt, the two men are framed and land in the same jail for 60 years; trouble is, they can't stand each other! Stuck in a work camp, they hope to be proved innocent someday -- if they don't kill each other in the meantime. Ted Demme directs this warm-hearted comedy.
