The Longest Yard (1974)

The convict Paul Crewe who used to be a football star, tries to form an inmate football team to fight against and built their esprit de corps to beat the guards' football team, headed by the hissable Capt. Knauer (Ed Lauter). But the sadistic sports-nut Warden Hazen asks Paul to throw the game, otherwise, Crewe will never get the pardon he's been promised.
