COOL HAND LUKE
“What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.” In what is perhaps his most iconic role, Paul Newman stars as Lucas Jackson, a southern vagabond and decorated World War II vet who receives a two-year prison sentence for destroying a few parking meters. Sent to work on a chain gang in rural Florida, Luke routinely defies authority and becomes a thorn in the side of the guards and an inspirational, iconoclastic example to his fellow prisoners. A powerful parable about conformity and brotherhood, COOL HAND LUKE earned Newman the fourth of his Academy Award® nominations. DIR Stuart Rosenberg; SCR Donn Pearce, Frank R.
