When petty criminal Luke Jackson is sentenced to two years in a Florida prison farm, he doesn't play by the rules of either the sadistic warden or the yard's resident heavy, Dragline, who ends up admiring the new guy's unbreakable will. Luke's bravado, even in the face of repeated stints in the prison's dreaded solitary confinement cell, "the box," make him a rebel hero to his fellow convicts and a thorn in the side of the prison officers.

Humorous and deeply dramatic study of the immolation of human spirit in captivity. Ageless, charismatic and memorable.

The film cemented Paul Newman as one of the era’s biggest stars. And it’s because Newman’s charisma grips you every single scene.
