Nomination Year: 1999

SYNOPSIS: Our hero (John Saxon) is a bounty-hunter tracking down an ex-convict (Rosie Grier) who is getting revenge on those who were cruel to him while he was in prison (primarily the guards, the warden, etc).

The film is called "The Glove" because Rosie Grier dons steel-plated gauntlets.

NB: This is not the glove that Spinal Tap wants you to smell.
