From the press kit: Adam Sandler and Chris Rock star in THE LONGEST YARD, Paramount Pictures and Columbia Pictures’ comic story of a former pro quarterback trying to make good in the toughest possible situation. When former NFL player PAUL CREWE (Adam Sandler) is sent to prison, the warden forces him to transform a diverse group of inmates into a football team. Unlikely teammates, the convicts unite when they find out who they are playing: the guards. With the help of fellow inmates NATE SCARBOROUGH (Burt Reynolds) and CARETAKER (Chris Rock), Crewe promises the cons a chance to exact revenge in a bone-crushing showdown where anything goes. The MEAN MACHINE returns to the gridiron in the new take on the 1974 classic.
