On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Giuseppe Verdi's death and the commemoration year that is linked with it the DVD in hand presents 'Nabucco' his first great freedom opera. Already its premiere in 1842 was a triumphant success for the composer due to the fact that the opera was exactly the Italians' kind of thing: they recongnised themsleves in the enslaved Hebrews who were oppressed by the Babylonians and celebrated Verdi as symbol of national liberation. Especially the famous choir of aspiration 'Va pensiero' (that was even sung by the mourning people of Milan on Verdi's funeral) has lost nothing of it's popularity until today. The open-air staging of 'Nabucco' that is documented here is the most expensive and lavish production of the third-largest European Open-Air Festival to date. It was a great popular success and got excellent reviews: 'The miracle of St. Margarethen' (Taglich Alles Wien) 'Nabucco goes beyond all previous standards. Unique.' (Munchner Abendzeitung). Besides the complete recording of this tremendous production the DVD offers additional interviews with persons involved and with the audience.

Director Peter Segal and comedian Adam Sandler join forces once more for a fun remake of the 1974 classic The Longest Yard. In the role of Paul ""Wrecking"" Crewe first immortalized by Burt Reynolds (who appears here as Nate Scarborough) Sandler plays an ex-football star whose career ended amidst allegations of point shaving. Fed up he drunkenly steals his unfriendly wife's (an uncredited Courtney Cox Arquette) luxury car and drives it into a multi-car pileup. This lands Crewe in a cruel Texas state penitentiary. His only respite comes from Warden Hazen (James Cromwell) who wants Crewe to help lead his well-equipped prison-guard football team to the league championship.
