Brubaker (1980) - Midland Movies

Henry Brubaker arrives at Wakefield Prison Farm as a new inmate — but he's actually the new warden, and what he uncovers inside is a system so deeply corrupt it threatens everyone who tries to challenge it.
Robert Redford is at his absolute best here: measured, determined, and quietly devastating. Brubaker is a film about institutional power, the cost of doing the right thing, and how hard real change actually is — themes that haven't aged a day. A standout of the 1980s drama canon and a perfect fit for Licking County audiences who appreciate serious, well-crafted filmmaking. The Midland Theatre in Newark, Ohio.
