2. Brubaker | Rotten Tomatoes
Brubaker is a dramatic movie with a social conscience and a welcome change from the primarily fluffy-headed film fare of the summer of 1980.
Posing as an inmate at a small Arkansas prison, the new warden of the penitentiary, Henry Brubaker (Robert Redford), witnesses firsthand the corruption and abuse inflicted upon the prisoners by the staff. After revealing his true identity, Brubaker brings much-needed reform to the prison with the help of supporters Dickie Coombes (Yaphet Kotto) and Lillian Gray (Jane Alexander). Yet when the benefactors of the old corrupt system are threatened by the changes, Brubaker's battles really begin.

As 'Brubaker' gets underway, we see Robert Redford as a prisoner aboard a bus of criminals on their way to Wakefield penitentiary. He spends the first half hour or so of the film with very little dialogue, as his character observes the prison life around him, particularly the cruel and uncalled for treatment of the prisoners by the guards and staff.

“I’m gettin’ ready to tell you something.” This prison film based loosely on a true story, directed by Cool Hand Luke’s Stuart Rosenberg and written by Bucakroo Bonzai’s W.D. Richter, is in an oddly unique artifact. Released in 1980, but very much a stylistic holdout of the early 70s, it was a critical and commercial success, yet now it’s largely forgotten. Worth watching for the supporting cast alone, including the always awesome Yaphet Kotto and a fleeting Morgan Freeman at a time when a lot of suburban America knew him largely from children’s television. It’s a film with the courage to
