Cool Hand Luke was directed by Stuart Rosenberg, and stars Paul Newman and features George Kennedy, who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Newman had the leading role as Luke, who was sentenced to two years in a Florida prison, and who refused to comply with the rules.
Cool Hand Luke contains two of cinema's most memorable moments—the first being the scene where Luke eats fifty hard boiled eggs in just one hour, and the second being the Captain's line delivery of the following line to Luke: "what we've got here is failure to communicate".
