City Banker Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is in Shawshank State Prison after receiving a double life sentence for murder. There he meets Red (Morgan Freeman) and also forms friendships with the warden and prison guards. Andy soon finds that you either get on with living or you get on with dying.
Adapted from a novella taken from Stephen King's 'Different Seasons' (a collection of stories that would also spawn Stand By Me and Apt Pupil), The Shawshank Redemption marked the first foray into the realms of the writer for director Frank Darabont. In the years since the release of The Shawshank Redemption, Darabont has directed two other King Adaptations, The Green Mile and The Mist. Considered to be a financial failure upon its release, and overshadowed by Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump at the Oscars, The Shawshank Redemption has since been re-evaluated as something of a modern classic.
