Club Fed is a 1990 comedy film directed by Nat Christian and starring Burt Young, Allen Garfield, Judy Landers, and Linda Blair. The film is set in a minimum-security prison for white-collar criminals, where several wealthy inmates are serving their sentences. The plot focuses on the experiences of two new inmates - Vinnie (Burt Young) and Tony (Allen Garfield) - who have been sentenced to Club Fed for tax evasion. Vinnie is a mob boss who was caught by the IRS and Tony is a small-time businessman who also ran afoul of the taxman. Both men are accustomed to luxury and are initially horrified by the spartan facilities and bland prison food. However, they soon learn to adapt to life behind bars and begin to make the most of their situation.

The prison is run by the strict and no-nonsense Warden Boyle (Judy Landers), who is not above using unorthodox methods to maintain discipline. She is assisted by the corrupt and sleazy Stew (Hamilton Camp), who secretly profits from the prisoners' activities. The inmates are managed by a team of guards, some of whom are corrupt or incompetent, and others who genuinely try to help the men in their care.

As Vinnie and Tony settle into their new routine, they begin to interact with the other inmates. These include the eccentric Professor Kruger (Mike Mazurki), who is serving time for embezzlement; the flamboyant fashion designer Maurice (Michael Winslow), who is in for tax fraud; and the bumbling lawyer Harry (Jeff Altman), who was caught taking bribes. The prisoners all have their own quirks and personalities, and the interactions between them form the basis of much of the movie's humor.

Vinnie and Tony quickly notice that many of the prisoners are engaged in profitable schemes while in prison. These include running an illegal casino, producing counterfeit currency, and even selling access to a volleyball court. Sensing an opportunity to make some money, the two men come up with their own schemes and soon become the most successful entrepreneurs in the prison. However, their success also attracts the attention of Stew, who begins to demand a larger cut of their profits.

As the movie progresses, Vinnie and Tony's activities become increasingly risky, and their success begins to attract the attention of the outside world. They must navigate both the internal politics of the prison and the pressures of the outside world to maintain their power and freedom. Along the way, they form unexpected friendships and learn valuable lessons about themselves and their place in the world.

Overall, Club Fed is a lighthearted comedy that explores the world of white-collar crime and the peculiarities of life in a minimum-security prison. The film's strong cast and witty dialogue make for an enjoyable viewing experience, and the scenes depicting the prisoners' various schemes are fun and engaging. While not a groundbreaking or particularly deep film, Club Fed is sure to provide a few laughs and a lot of entertainment for those looking for a light-hearted comedy.

Club Fed is a 1990 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 33 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.2.
