USF offers "The Longest Yard" in Topnotch Theater event
The University of St. Francis invites the community to view the movie, "The Longest Yard," at a Topnotch Theater event.
"The Longest Yard" will be shown at 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 9 and 10 in the university’s Moser Performing Arts Center auditorium. Admission is $1, and all children under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
In this remake of the 1974 sports comedy of the same name, 'The Longest Yard' tells the story of pro quarterback Paul Crewe (Adam Sandler) and former college champion and coach Nate Scarboro (Burt Reynolds), who are both doing time in the same prison. Asked by the sadistic warden (James Cromwell) to put together a team of inmates to take on the guards, Crewe enlists the help of Scarboro to coach the inmates to victory in a football game "fixed" to turn out quite another way.
The university will also offer "Batman Begins" in a Topnotch Theater Event on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 4 & 5 at 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m.
