"Brubaker, I'm getting ready to tell you something. You were right." - Richard "Dickie" Coombes

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.
