Ernest Goes to Jail (1990)

Ernest P. Worrell, an endearingly awkward janitor employed by a local bank, dreams of ascending the ranks to become a bank clerk. Little does he know, his mundane life is about to be tossed into the thrilling whirlwind of crime, mistaken identity, and superhuman powers. As fate would have it, Ernest is chosen for jury duty for a high-stakes case involving the hard-hearted criminal, Felix Nash, whose uncanny resemblance to Ernest is a twist of destiny not to be ignored. In the grim confines of the Draccup penitentiary, a scheme unfolds as Nash, through a crooked lawyer, orchestrates a nefarious switcheroo. A swift knockout later, Ernest finds himself in the eerie echo of prison life while Nash steps into his shoes, usurping his job and his identity. Unbeknownst to all, Nash harbors an audacious plan to rob the bank Ernest holds dear. However, the prison's electric chair, intended to be Ernest's doom, charges him with extraordinary powers rather than ending his life. With newfound abilities, Ernest must navigate the perilous labyrinth of prison life to escape and stop Nash's sinister plot. In this chaotic symphony of blunders and bravery, Ernest's journey to reclaim his life and thwart Nash's criminal ambitions is a wild ride that promises both laughter and suspense.
