Starting Strength is the way to go:

The basic outline is that it's 5 exercises, three times a week, with three exercises per day - you alternate some of them. It should take about an hour including warm ups.

There's a wiki, but buy the book. For equipment, you'll need weights, a barbell, squat rack, and bench. It's all stuff a gym should have, or is relatively easy to find on craigslist for cheap.
