No castle can have two kings

"Colonel, I'm taking command of your prison."

General Eugene Irwin

The Last Castle

Release Date: October 19, 2001

The Castle—the unlikely last stop in the brilliant career of three star General Irwin (Robert Redford). Court-martialed and stripped of his rank, Irwin has been sentenced to the maximum security military prison, which is run with an iron fist by its warden, Colonel Winter (James Gandolfini). Winter can't help but respect the once-legendary general, but it isn't long before that respect turns to resentment and then open hostility as Irwin continually confronts the warden on his methods. Setting out to break Irwin by whatever means necessary, the colonel's tactics only fuel Irwin's defiance and galvanize the other prisoners to rally behind the general in his new mission: to seize control of the prison and remove Winter from his command. The men imprisoned in The Castle have been told that they are no longer soldiers...but they are about to prove that they can still fight a war.

The Last Castle stars screen legend Robert Redford (The Legend of Bagger Vance), James Gandolfini, Mark Ruffalo, Clifton Collins, Jr., Steve Burton, Brian Goodman, Paul Calderon, Frank Military, Michael Irby, Samuel Ball, Jeremy Childs and Delroy Lindo.

The action drama is directed by Rod Lurie, who wrote and directed last year's critically acclaimed political thriller The Contender for DreamWorks Pictures. The Last Castle is produced by Robert Lawrence from an original screenplay by David Scarpa and Graham Yost (The Americans), from a story by David Scarpa.
