Rating: 9/10 (11 June 2015)

In 1946, Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), a young and successful banker, has its radically changed life to be put to life in prison for a crime he never committed: the murder of his wife and her lover. So he is sent to a prison that is the nightmare of any detainee: Shawshank State Penitentiary. Andy will be presented to Warden Norton (Bob Gunton) - the corrupt and cruel prison director, and the captain Byron Hadley (Clancy Brown) - which treats the prisoners like animals. Andy befriends Ellis Boyd Redding (Morgan Freeman), a prisoner who is serving 20 years and controls the black market in prison. It's a film about friendship, with great acting, showing that friendship can emerge in the most unexpected places.
