Overview

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

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.

Review

Cool Hand Luke

Luke is a victim of circumstance; life dealt him a hand and he played it best he could but ended up getting beat by the system. There’s a lesson in here about not letting the system get to you, or not getting drunk and popping the heads off parking meters. Regardless, this movie has some classic scenes, like the eggs. Pure gold.⭐️⭐️⭐️
