Summary:First, there's a Col. Klink-type character named Winter ([James Gandolfini]), who's the warden at the maximum-security military prison that, not surprisingly, looks like a castle.

Then there's the Hogan clone in Irwin ([Robert Redford]), a cashiered three-star general who's in prison for reasons not revealed until three-quarters of the way through the movie.
