Longest Yard, The

Longest Yard, The

1974

Burt Reynolds stars in this rough, hilarious comedy as washed-up National Football League quarterback Paul Crewe, who's sent to jail and forced to put together an inmate gridiron team to take on a group of cocky prison guards. But when the warden tells Crewe to throw the game, the former pro must choose between himself and his team. The climactic football game is a bone-crunching howl from start to finish.
