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 (Martin) of the prison. 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.
