What The Longest Yard Is About
A former professional footballer sent to prison forms a team of inmates at the warden's request. They are to play the guards, and the warden expects them to lose. The film does not stage the game as comedy; the narrative deals with the choice between submitting to pressure and hitting back, and the game becomes the stage for it. The violence on the field is shown as real and painful. Robert Aldrich directed, with Burt Reynolds. It was remade twice later. A real warning: there is prison violence, racist language and a death. It carries the language of the seventies and some of it is uncomfortable now.
