Nerdy teenager Stanley Yelnats (Shia La Beouf) is sent to a Texas detention camp for stealing a pair of sneakers. At camp, Yelnats and the other delinquents are forced by the sadistic warden (Sigourney Weaver) to dig holes as a character-building exercise. Every day, each boy must dig a hole 5 feet deep and wide in the long-dry rock that was once the bottom of Green Lake. But what's the real reason for all the hole-digging?
