His crime: nonconformity. His sentence: the chain gang.
Paul Newman plays one of his best-loved roles as Cool Hand Luke, the loner who won't, or can't, conform to the arbitrary rules of his captivity.
A cast of fine character actors, including George Kennedy in his Academy Award-winning role of Dragline, gives Newman solid support as fellow prisoners. And Strother Martin is the Captain who taunts Luke with the famous line, '"What we've got here is...failure to communicate." No failure here. With rich humour and vibrant storytelling power, 'Cool Hand Luke' succeeds resoundingly.

This is an old classic. Paul Newman is briliant in this as Luke who get's sent to prison for vandalism & ends up being on the wrong side of the law on more than one occasion. Not to mention the infamous scene with the bet about the 50 eggs. George Kennedy is supringsly good in this aswell (& incidentally won an oscar for his supporting role). Look out for Dennis Hopper who also pops up during the film. Although not aswell known as Butch Cassidy or The Hustler, this is one of Newman's finest. Superb!!
