Tim Robbins plays Andy Dufresne, a city banker, wrongfully convicted of murdering his wife and her lover. He is sent to Shawshank Prison in 1947 and receives a double life sentence for the crime. Andy forms an unlikely friendship with "Red" (Morgan Freeman), the man who knows how to get things. Andy faces many trials in prison, but forms an alliance with the wardens because he is able to use his banking experience to help the corrupt officials amass personal fortunes and the story unfolds from there
The Shawshank Redemption is an aesthetic adaptation of a much repeated cliché 'where there's a will, there's a way'. It is a monumental piece of art that can chill, thrill, excite and rejoice any type of audience. It renders a remarkable story of hope, trust, courage, determination and friendship while at the same time exploring the not-so-pleasant themes of corruption and police brutality.
