Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases of Robert Aldrich's classic film The Longest Yard (1974), starring Burt Reynolds, Eddie Albert, Ed Lauter, Michael Conrad, and James Hampton. The two releases will be available for purchase on May 16.
Description: Burt Reynolds leads the downfield charge in this raucous, rough-and-tumble comedy-drama directed by Robert Aldrich (The Flight of the Phoenix, The Dirty Dozen). Reynolds plays one-time pro quarterback Paul Crewe, now behind bars for leading the state police on a wild chase in a "borrowed" car. Eddie Albert (Roman Holiday), in a sharp turn away from his "Green Acres" persona, is the sadistic, scheming warden who recruits Crewe to form a team of convicts to go up against the warden's polished, semi-pro team of prison guards in a championship game. Crewe has agreed that his team - dubbed the "Mean Machine" - will provide only passive resistance to the squad of brutal guards. But the gridiron showdown turns into a gritty game of cunning strategy and outright survival as the Mean Machine defies the warden's iron-fisted control and attempts to go the distance in The Longest Yard!
