Brubaker is a 1980 prison drama starring Robert Redford as a newly appointed prison warden who secretly enters his own institution as an inmate, allowing him to witness its corruption and brutality firsthand.

POSTER DESIGN FEATURES: Restrained photographic Australian Daybill dominated by a large sepia-toned portrait of Robert Redford behind a graphic prison fence and razor wire. The muted brown and cream palette, minimal typography and stark prison imagery give the poster a serious, dramatic appearance.

COLLECTOR'S NOTE: Inspired by the experiences documented by prison reformer Thomas Murton, Brubaker combines Robert Redford with director Stuart Rosenberg, whose earlier prison classic was Cool Hand Luke. The supporting cast also includes Morgan Freeman in an early feature-film role.VIEW THIS POSTER: See the current price and availability in our Vintage Movie Poster Collection.
