Synopsis:
Vinnie
Jones
steps
into
Burt
Reynolds'
shoes
as
a
professional
footballer
detained
at
her
Majesty's
pleasure
in
this
re-creation
of
the
1974
film
"The
Longest
Yard."
Danny
Meehan
(Jones)
had
it
all
-
captain
of
the
England
soccer
team,
fast
cars,
money
and
fame
-
until
he
was
banned
from
the
team
following
accusations
of
match
fixing
and
jailed
for
three
years
for
drunken
assault
on
a
police
officer.
The
Governor
(David
Hemmings)
has
pulled
strings
to
get
Danny
assigned
to
his
prison.
He's
put
a
lot
of
money
into
the
prison
guards'
semi-professional
soccer
team
with
little
result,
and
he
wants
Danny
to
train
the
team
to
win
the
league.
Siding
with
the
Governor
is
a
one
way
ticket
to
prison
hell,
and
so
Danny
proposes
to
train
a
team
of
cons
to
play
against
the
guards
as
a
pre-season
warm-up.
The
Governor
agrees,
believing
a
bunch
of
cons
to
be
no
match
for
his
guards.
