Mean Machine


A British remake of the American ''The Longest Yard'', this switches the action from American Football to soccer. Our hero, a pro soccer player, is sent to prison after a brawl with the cops. The warden recruits him to train the prison guard soccer team, which he agrees to in return for also training a team of inmates. This naturally sets the scene for the inevitable match between the two teams...
