				Why watch this? 
				This shows us a grittier acting effort by the handsome Redford. 
				Plot Summary: 
				Newly-appointed Arkansas prison warden, Henry Brubaker, 
				disguises himself as a prisoner to get an unbiased inside-look 
				at the institution's deplorable treatment of its inmates. After 
				disclosing his identity, Brubaker must not only take on the 
				prison's rampant corruption, but there are those in the 
				community and government who benefit from things the way they 
				are. Dad's Preview: 
				This smart prison drama is gripping to behold. This is as I 
				would expect from a project by Robert Redford. An all-star cast, 
				features Redford, Yaphet Kotto, and an edgy, upstart actor by 
				the name of Morgan Freeman.
