This free ticketed OGTTM event is one of 250+ statewide screenings showcasing Ohio’s contributions in the film industry in front of and behind the camera. Times may vary. Contact the venue/location for details and tickets.
When petty criminal Luke Jackson (Paul Newman) is sentenced to two years in a Florida prison farm, he doesn't play by the rules of either the sadistic warden (Strother Martin) or the yard's resident heavy, Dragline (George Kennedy), who ends up admiring the new guy's unbreakable will. Luke's bravado, even in the face of repeated stints in the prison's dreaded solitary confinement cell, "the box," make him a rebel hero to his fellow convicts and a thorn in the side of the prison officers.
Ohio Goes To The Movies is a statewide celebration of movies showcasing Ohioans: actors, directors, writers, composers, locations, and topic, shown in cities and towns across the state.
