Rating: 9/10 (26 August 2014)

One of the best movies of all time. The acting in incredible, the story is captivating and engaging, and every actor comes through in a big way. A truly wonderful movie. If you have not seen it, you will not be disappointed when you do. The story, chiefly about the 20-year friendship between Freeman and Robbins. Andy Dufresne (Robbins) is sentenced to two consecutive life terms in Maine's Shawshank prison for the murders of his wife and her lover. Set in the 1940's, the film shows how Andy learns to get by in the brutal confines of prison, even earning the respect of his fellow inmates, most notably the longtime convict "Red" Redding (Freeman)
