The man... and the motion picture that simply do not conform.

Overview

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.

Things are sure to come to a head as Luke rebels to the point of no return... Division of Corrections. Road Prison 36. The close examination of Cool Hand Luke over the years has rightly throw...
