Summary: Ex professional footballer, Danny Mehan, lands in prison on an assault charge and discovers that he is banged up with a few inmates who haven't forgiven him for fixing a game... Can he manage to throw a team together in order to get him on side with the guards and also save his neck with his fellow prisoners?...

In this remake of THE LONGEST YARD, Robert Aldrich's 1974 Burt Reynolds prison tale concerning inmates who organize themselves into a football team and compete against the guards, British director Barry Skolnick pulls together a ruthlessly funny cast and changes the resident sport to soccer. The leader of the prisoners, played by Vinnie Jones (LOCK, STOCK, AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS), is a former soccer star who is asked by the warden to coach a team of prison guards. Instead, he offers to put together a team of inmates, who will be able to scrimmage with the guards' team.
