The story of two criminals (Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence) who discover the value of life after being sentenced to life imprisonment. In the mid-1990s, two inmates bury the burned bodies of two lifer at Mississippi's infamous Parchman Farm; a third old-timer relates their story. They'd served 65 year for a murder they didn't commit, framed by a local sheriff while buying moonhine whiskey for a Manhattan club owner to whom they owed money. In flashbacks we see this odd couple thrown together (Ray is a fast-talking con man, and Claude is a serious man about to start work as a bank teller), the loss of Ray's watch (sterling silver, from his daddy), the murder and trial, the hardships of Parchman, and the love-hate relationhip of Claude and Ray as they spend 65 year bickering and looking for a way to escape.
