Paul Crewe (Adam Sandler)
was once a famous professional football player. He is arrested for a serious
traffic accident aggravated by the fact he was drunk. Crewe is sentenced to
Allenville Penitentiary, where Warden Hazen (James Cromwell) is something of a
football fan. Hazen had organized his guards into an impressive football team,
and clears a healthy profit by taking bets on their games. Looking to make the
competition more interesting, Hazen suggests that Crewe put together a team from
the inmate population to play his guards. With the help of fellow prisoner
Caretaker (Chris Rock), Crewe recruits the heaviest hitters from the cell block
for the team, but the guys don't play like a unit until Crewe and Caretaker get
some help from Nate Scarborough (Burt Reynolds), a former college and NFL coach
doing hard time.
