is a 2001 drama film directed by Rod Lurie, starring Robert Redford and
James Gandolfini. The film portrays a struggle between inmates and the
warden of a military prison. Eugene Irwin, a highly decorated U.S. Army
Lieutenant General, court martialed and sentenced for insubordination,
challenges the warden, Colonel Winter, over his treatment of the
prisoners. After mobilizing the inmates, Irwin leads an uprising aiming
to seize control of the prison and remove Winter from command. The film
was released on October 19, 2001, in the United States, grossing about
$28 million worldwide. The low gross of the film in comparison to its
high production and marketing expenses led some to call it a box office
bomb. The Last Castle won the Taurus World Stunt Award for best fire
stunt and was nominated for best aerial work and best stunt coordination
sequence. Clifton Collins, Jr. was nominated for an ALMA Award in the
"Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture" category.
