THE LONGEST YARD (1974)
When disgraced quarterback Paul Crewe (Burt Reynolds) is locked behind bars for a gambling scandal, he's ordered to field a team of convicts so that the warden's trophy-winning football team can get an easy W under its belt. But when the warden's cutthroat competitiveness crosses the line, Crew's motley crew of hardened criminals, nicknamed the Mean Machine, exacts retribution on the abusive prison guards, played by NFL ringers like Ray Nitschke and Joe Kapp, and dares to win the supposedly fixed game.
