“What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.” Released in 1967, Cool Hand Luke (PG) is one of the highlights of Paul Newman’s illustrious career as an actor. Gritty, sweaty, and harsh, the film depicts life in a Florida prison camp. But as hot as it is on the chain gang, Newman’s Luke is cool under pressure and determined to not let his will get broken.
