Story- In 1946, a banker named Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is convicted of a double murder, even though he stubbornly proclaims his innocence.He's sentenced to a life term at the Shawshank State Prison in Maine, where another lifer, Ellis "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman),
picks him as the new recruit most likely to crack under the pressure.
The ugly realities of prison life are quickly introduced to Andy: a
corrupt warden (Bob gunton), sadistic guards led by Capt. Byron Hadley (Clancy brown),
and inmates who are little better than animals, willing to use rape or
beatings to insure their dominance. But Andy does not crack: he has the
hope of the truly innocent, which (together with his smarts) allow him
to prevail behind bars. He uses his banking skills to win favor with the
warden and the guards, doing the books for Norton's illegal business
schemes and keeping an eye on the investments of most of the prison
staff. In exchange, he is able to improve the prison library and bring
some dignity and respect back to many of the inmates, including Red. Set in the 1940's, the film shows how Andy, with the help of his friend
Red, the prison entrepreneur, turns out to be a most unconventional
prisoner.
In doing the books for the warden, he learns that the prison boss is
taking bribes, and Andy is to launder them. A loveable former inmate
hangs himself when he gets to the outside after decades behind bars and
can't adjust. The inmate whom Andy helps get his GED is shot by the
guards to keep him quiet about information that might prove Andy is
innocent of the murders and set him free. Andy spends two months in
solitary. After he gets out, he seems depressed and Red worries he'll
kill himself. The next day, Andy isn't dead, but he isn't there, either.
He's escaped. The rest is a perfect Stephen King happy ending, complete
with come-uppance for the corrupt warden.
