Summary
A defiant drifter is sentenced to two years on a Southern chain gang for a petty crime, where his refusal to bow to authority earns him the admiration of his fellow prisoners and the wrath of the brutal warden and guards. As his repeated escape attempts turn him into a folk hero among the inmates, the system grows ever more determined to break his spirit.
