Cool Hand Luke

Cool Hand Luke, directed by Stuart Rosenberg, casts Paul Newman as Luke Jackson, a petty criminal who, upon being sentenced to two years in a Florida prison farm, refuses to bend to the tyrannical will of the warden or the yard's enforcer, Dragline. Luke’s unyielding spirit and penchant for defying authority, even while enduring solitary confinement, transform him into a reluctant hero among his fellow inmates and a relentless adversary for the prison authorities.
