Interesting facts

Hard Time is a 1998 American made-for-television action crime film directed by and starring Burt Reynolds. This film premiered on TNT on December 13, 1998.

Production

Burt Reynolds made the film after starring in Boogie Nights.

TNT approached Reynolds with the offer to star in three television films, one of which he would direct.

The films were all set in Florida but shot in Los Angeles because it was cheaper.

Reynolds said he liked the film because he liked the idea of watching someone who had strong views on capital punishment change his mind. Reynolds said the character was like his father Burt Sr.

Reynolds changed his character's name from Conrad Logan (as it was originally written) to Logan McQueen as a nod to the "very complicated, very underrated" Steve McQueen.
