Short description

Disgraced pro football quarterback Paul Crewe lands in a Texas federal penitentiary, where manipulative Warden Hazen recruits him to advise the institution's football team of prison guards. Crewe suggests a tune-up game which lands him quarterbacking a crew of inmates in a game against the guards. Aided by incarcerated ex-NFL coach and player Nate Scarborough, Crewe and his team must overcome not only the bloodthirstiness of the opposition, but also the corrupt warden trying to fix the game against them.

Negotiations were held with Gary Oldman to participate in the role of a prisoner, but they were unsuccessful.
Burt Reynolds and Ed Lauter starred in both the original film and the remake.
Michael Irvin and Bill Romanowski played under the numbers 88 and 53 in the film. They also play under the same numbers in the NFL.
Tim Herlihy, Adam Sandler’s favorite screenwriter, was specifically invited to rewrite some of the dialogue. He is not credited.
