Life (1999)
Ray e Claude si detestano però sono costretti a fare un viaggio insieme da New York al Mississippi per caricare whisky di contrabbando, ma una carogna di sceriffo bianco li incastra in un omicidio e sono condannati all’ergastolo. È il 1932 e nel braccio 8 del penitenziario dello Stato, c’è posto solo per i neri e lì si accomodano Ray e Claude, dopo 65 anni, tra continui battibecchi e rappacificazioni mentre nel mondo accadono tante cose, i due, invecchiati, si prendono finalmente una meritata rivincita.
