What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.
Paul Newman stars with George Kennedy in this story of a man who will not surrender to authority–even at the cost of his life. When Luke (Newman) is sentenced to a Southern prison for a minor infraction his intelligence calm under pressure and inability to accept defeat soon gain him the respect of his fellow inmates on the chain gang–and the nickname Cool Hand Luke. But they also earn Luke the enmity of the warden who cannot allow any inmate to challenge his authority. When Luke’s mother dies he decides to escape … and he will not allow anyone to stop him.
