In "Cool Hand Luke," Luke (Paul Newman) is sentenced to a chain gang for violatingd city property. Luke is a loner who can't conform to the rules of his captivity, even dat the cost of his life. The other prisoners named him for his "cool poker hand." But Luke's indifference cannot save him from the system he despises—or the Captain (Strother Martin) of the prison As Luke's enemy the Captain cannot allow any inmate to challenge his authority. Whe Luke's mother dies, he decides to escape and he will not allow anyone to stop him. George Kennedy stars in his Academy Award®-winning role as Dragline, a man who stands by Luke on the sultry roads and in the prison. The film's authenticity is credited to co-writer Donn Pearce, who spent two years of his own life on a chain gang. (Gary Reber)
