Plot Summary: A sadistic warden asks a
former pro quarterback, now serving time in his prison, to put together a
team of inmates to take on (and get pummeled by) the guards.
A football player-turned-convict organizes a team of inmates to play against
a team of prison guards. His dilemma is that the warden asks him to throw
the game in return for an early release, but he is also concerned about the
inmates' lack of self-esteem. |
