Hollywood great Burt Reynolds (White Lightning, Semi-Tough) leads the downfield charge in this raucous, rough-and-tumble comedy-drama coached by legendary director Robert Aldrich (Vera Cruz, 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 (Hustle) 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 crew—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 as the Mean Machine defies the warden’s iron-fisted control and attempts to go the distance in The Longest Yard. Featuring Ed Lauter, James Hampton, Michael Conrad, Bernadette Peters, Richard Kiel, Anitra Ford, Robert Tessier, Charles Tyner and a rowdy roster of real-life football greats, it’s survival of the fiercest. And the funniest!

[Jorvic]

Finally!

A favourite Aldrich and favourite Burt film!

[bergman864]

Absolutely love this movie. A lot more dramatic than it gets credit for. Glad to see this hitting the format.

[double-a]

Finally!!!!

[Jorvic]

Would be nice if we could get Hustle – another excellent Aldrich/Reynolds film – too, though that's perhaps unlikely for 4K UHD.

[Abdrewes]

Hell yes! Now someone give us Fast Break as well.

[Retroj23]

Holy crap! Paramount is on fire with all these UHD catalogue releases. Keep them coming.

Kino is releasing this. That’s why, “from Kino” is in the thread title.

[concolt]

I’m down, I love Adam Sandler movies.

[Jorvic]

First saw this film as a very young kid and on my most recent re-watch, none of its power has diminished.

All the imitations/remakes that followed it are pretty rubbish though.

[dylrichard02]

Cool, I'll get this one!

Ah, you're right. I didn't see the Kino part. Still, I'm glad Paramount is either releasing or licensing out their catalogue.

[Vertizontal]

Great news, I'll grab this day one, friggin' classic (the Burt version obviously). Whenever people have that "favorite sports" movie list/discussion I always toss this one up, certainly on my top 10 list.

[Eschenpod]

Love me some classic Burt.

[Winslow Leach]

Great film.

[Stationary Explorer]

I'm so excited about this announcement I think I'll break someone's freakin' neck to celebrate!

[sancho]

Awesome news. Sold!

[reanimator]

The more movies from the 70s we can get on 4K the better. And this is a really good one, so there's that. Let's pair this with NORTH DALLAS FORTY, Kino!

[captainsolo]

New master and 4K for any Aldrich is reason to celebrate.
Though being me I wish it was Vera Cruz or Ulzana’s Raid first.
