Cast and Crew of The Longest Yard

The Longest Yard

If you can't get out, get even.

In the hilarious and action-packed sports comedy film "The Longest Yard," Adam Sandler portrays the disgraced and once-celebrated pro football quarterback Paul Crewe. Alongside him, Chris Rock takes on the role of Caretaker, a fellow inmate and one of Crewe's unlikely allies within the penitentiary.

Upon finding himself behind bars in a Texas federal penitentiary, Crewe reluctantly settles into his new life as an inmate. However, things take a turn when the manipulative and cunning Warden Hazen, portrayed by James Cromwell, hatches a devious plan to recruit Crewe as an advisor for the prison's football team – a motley crew of prison guards. Seizing the opportunity to rekindle his passion for the sport, Crewe suggests a friendly match to prepare the guards for their upcoming championship game. Unfortunately for him, this seemingly innocuous proposition lands him in the position of quarterbacking a team of imprisoned misfits against the very guards he was tasked with mentoring.

With the odds seemingly stacked against them, Crewe and his ragtag team must overcome not only the ruthlessness and determination of the opposition but also the corruption and deceit of Warden Hazen. Aided by incarcerated ex-NFL coach and player Nate Scarborough, portrayed by Burt Reynolds, who reprises his role from the original 1974 film, Crewe and his team of inmates embark on a seemingly impossible journey to find redemption, camaraderie, and the chance to give the warden a taste of his own medicine. Amidst the chaos and comedy, viewers are treated to a heartwarming tale of hope and unity.
