In this rough-and-tumble yarn, actually filmed on-location at the Georgia State Prision, the cons are the heroes and the guards are the heavies. Eddie Albert is the sadistic warden who'll gladly make any sacrifice to push his guards' semi-pro football team to a national championship.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Though The Yard is a terrible picture, I'll admit to having unwillingly enjoyed some of the football practice and parts of the final game -- even though it's much too long.
– Nora Sayre,
New York Times,
9 May 2005
fresh:
Very exciting, very witty, and elevated above its action-movie status by Aldrich's deliberate references to Nixon in Albert's characterisation of the warden.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,
9 Feb 2006
fresh:
What saves it, aside from good performances by Burt Reynolds and a thundering herd of supporting grotesques, is, of all things, a tough, tiny nut of valid social criticism.
– Richard Schickel,
TIME Magazine,
4 Aug 2008
fresh:
An outstanding action drama, combining the brutish excitement of football competition with the brutalities of contemporary prison life.
