Ray Gibson and Claude Banks, New Yorkers from different worlds, meet at a club called Spanky's in 1932. Ray, a small-time thief, picks Claude as a mark. Ray convinces club-owner Spanky to let him and Claude pay off their debt via <a href="/wiki/Smuggling" title="Smuggling">bootlegging</a>. Traveling south to buy <a href="/wiki/Mississippi" title="Mississippi">Mississippi</a> "hooch", they pay for the booze and get sidetracked when they enter a local bar. Ray, wanting to enjoy the moment, loses his father's prized pocketwatch to card hustler Winston Hancock, and Claude got his money stolen by one of the customers. Outside, racist sheriff Warren Pike kills Hancock, framing Ray and Claude. </p><p>Ray and Claude are given life sentences, with hard labor at an infamous prison camp called Camp 8. They immediately run afoul of the guards, Sergeant Dillard and Hoppin' Bob, and also meet fellow inmates Jangle Leg (who makes a pass at Claude), Willie Long, Biscuit (another homosexual inmate, involved with Jangle Leg), Radio, Goldmouth (a bully who picks a fight with Ray, but befriends him afterward), Cookie the chef, and Pokerface. Claude's cousin, an attorney, unsuccessfully appeals his conviction and seduces his girlfriend (who’s grown tired of Claude’s selfishness). With no chance at freedom, Claude and Ray break out, getting as far as <a href="/wiki/Tallahatchie_County,_Mississippi" title="Tallahatchie County, Mississippi">Tallahatchie</a> before being captured. </p><p>In 1944, twelve years later, Claude and Ray meet young, mute inmate "Can't-Get-Right", a talented baseball player who is sighted by a <a href="/wiki/Negro_league_baseball" title="Negro league baseball">Negro league</a> scout who offers a pardon to play. Sensing an opportunity for freedom, Ray and Claude introduce themselves as his handlers. Despite his talent, Can't-Get-Right is often distracted by Mae Rose, the daughter of Camp 8's superintendent Abernathy. After Mae Rose gives birth to a biracial boy, Abernathy furiously demands to know who is the father. Various inmates simultaneously claim to be the father, embarrassing Abernathy by indicating that she had slept with all of them, which results in all present laughing at Abernathy and him quitting on the spot and leaving the prison. </p><p>During a dance social, Biscuit confides to Ray that he is due for release but fears returning to his family because of his homosexuality. Despite Ray’s sincere encouragement to resume life on the outside, Biscuit instead commits suicide by crossing the gun line, much to the shock and heartache of the other inmates. Can't-Get-Right is soon released without Ray and Claude, which causes extreme frustration and a bitter falling out between them, ending their friendship. Over the following years, Ray attempts several escapes alone unsuccessfully. </p><p>By 1972, Ray and Claude are still not speaking; all their friends except for Willie have either died or been released. One day, Claude snaps, running past the gun line to steal a pie, and he is punished by having to stand barefoot on a case of bottles. Dillard offers to set Ray free if he will shoot Claude should he move. Ray refuses and is given the same punishment. Touched, Claude apologizes, and they finally make amends. </p><p>Ray and Claude are transferred to live and work at Superintendent Dexter Wilkins' mansion. Ray does yard work, while Claude works inside and befriends Wilkins. Claude is entrusted to pick up the new superintendent, who happens to be Sheriff Warren Pike. While on a pheasant hunt one day, Ray notices that Pike has his father's watch and realizes he is the one who framed them 40 years prior. When Ray presses Pike on the true origins of the watch and the scar on his left cheek, Pike instantly recognizes Ray and threatens to kill him. Ray then grabs Pike's shotgun and points it at him. He tells Wilkins that Pike framed him and Claude for murder, which the sheriff admits to with no remorse, saying that state of Mississippi had them as cheap labor for 40 years. Furious with the response, Ray tries to kill him for robbing him and Claude 40 years of their lives. Claude struggles to stop Ray from killing him, Pike aims at them both with a hidden Derringer. Realizing that they are both innocent, and disgusted with Pike's wickedness, Wilkins kills Pike and covers it up as a hunting accident. He apologizes to Ray and Claude for their unjust imprisonment and promises to issue them pardons, but suffers a fatal heart attack before he can do so. </p><p>In 1997, present day, Ray and Claude live in the prison infirmary with Willie. Claude tells Ray of a new plan, which Ray initially rejects, but then follows Claude to hear more. Later that night, the infirmary catches fire, and they seemingly perish in the flames. The inmates are saddened by the story, and Willie concludes the tale by outlining Claude's plan: Ray and Claude would steal two bodies from the morgue, start the blaze, plant the bodies in their beds, then hide and escape in the fire trucks. When asked why the plan did not work, Willie tells the workers that he "never said it didn't work". The inmates quickly realize the bodies they have buried are not Ray and Claude, who have gone back to New York immediately and are watching a <a href="/wiki/New_York_Yankees" title="New York Yankees">Yankees</a> game. They are again on good terms, free and living together in <a href="/wiki/Harlem" title="Harlem">Harlem</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Life_(1999_film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Eddie_Murphy" title="Eddie Murphy">Eddie Murphy</a> as Rayford "Ray" Gibson</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Martin_Lawrence" title="Martin Lawrence">Martin Lawrence</a> as Claude Banks</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Obba_Babatund%C3%A9" title="Obba Babatundé">Obba Babatundé</a> as Willie Long</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ned_Beatty" title="Ned Beatty">Ned Beatty</a> as Dexter Wilkins</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Bernie_Mac" title="Bernie Mac">Bernie Mac</a> as "Jangle Leg"</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Miguel_A._N%C3%BA%C3%B1ez_Jr." title="Miguel A.
