The Longest Yard is a sports drama that revolves around an ex-football player that is forced to rediscover the person that he was always meant to be, regardless of how he felt that person was long forgotten. It all begins when a disgraced football player, Paul Crewe, gets arrested  for stealing his girlfriend's fancy car, and before he can realize what's truly about to happen, Paul lands in jail. While in jail, the manipulative warden there convinces Crewe to form a football team to face off against the warden's team of prison guards. Convinced that having an easy victory will boost the confidence levels of his team, the warden forces Paul into creating a team that will lose against his own team. Paul Crewe must not only find players willing to play football, but he must also teach various convicts how to play the sport and how to act as a team, which is made even more difficult by how intimidating and fierce some of these convicts truly are. As Paul Crewe begins to create a team, mostly by convincing the convicts that this is an opportunity to finally face off against the guards and get revenge for all of the harshness that they have received from them, he is joined by an ex-professional football coach, Nate Scarborough. Crewe and his team must come together and must overcome all odds in dealing with the aggressive brutality of the prison guards, and worst of all, the team is forced to play in a game that the warden is attempting to fix. With all of this, Paul Crewe must redeem himself from being the hated person that he has become, which is a result of him throwing a professional football game, and he must transform into the old football player that he was before the incident, that is if he wants to have any shot of winning.
