Big Stan

Big Stan is a comedy crime movie about a real estate con man named Stan who, after being sentenced to prison, hires a martial arts guru named The Master to teach him self-defense. Stan learns to defend himself and brings peace to the prison yard by intimidating his fellow inmates, becoming their leader. However, the corrupt warden Gasque has plans to force the prison's closure and sell the property for profit. Stan's peacemaking efforts threaten Gasque's plan, and he is persuaded to bring back violence. In the end, Stan deliberately blows his parole hearing to return and prevent a riot, but instead finds the prisoners dancing peacefully. Gasque attempts to shoot Stan but is stopped by Mindy and The Master. Bullard becomes the new warden, and Lew becomes an inmate after being arrested for corruption. The movie ends with Stan being released from prison and met by his wife Mindy Jr., who was trained by The Master during her father's incarceration..
