The Longest Yard

What took me so long to see this show, I don’t know, but luckily I watched it or else I would have regretted. Paul Crewe, a renowned football player went into a prison. The warden and prison guards threatened him into forming a prisoner team to engage the guards’ team. Its real exciting seeing how they plan and train and recruit during that short one-month, becoming a real football team. But during the climax of the clash, the warden threatens Paul Crewe with a charge of murder if he doesn’t lose deliberately. And which he did, but only under the agreement that his teammate will not be attacked during the match. After he saw his teammate falling one by one, he decides enough is enough and he goes on the pitch but none of his teammate believes in him anymore. So he had to brush through all the tackles alone to regain his teammates’ trust. He told them the truth, which was really touching at this point of time, and they forgive him and work together to win the match.
