"Big Stan" is an American prison comedy film about Stan Minton, a wealthy real estate agent who is sentenced to prison for fraud. Fearing for his safety, Stan seeks the help of a mysterious man known as "The Master" to teach him self-defense techniques. After months of intense training, Stan is ready to defend himself in prison.
Upon arrival, Stan quickly establishes himself as the alpha male by defeating several inmates, including the notorious Big Raymond. The warden, Gasque, reveals that he has brought Stan to the prison to help him with a real estate project, but Stan soon discovers that Gasque's plan is to stage a riot, kill some inmates, and then close the prison to build a new estate.
Stan decides to sabotage Gasque's plan and, with the help of his inmates, they perform a dance number instead of rioting, foiling Gasque's plan. In the end, Gasque is exposed, and Stan is released from prison after serving his time. The film ends with Stan returning home to his wife, Mindy, and their three-year-old daughter.
