Fear can hold you prisoner...Hope can set you free.
City banker Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) arrived at Shawshank Prison in 1947. Convicted of two brutal murders, he received a double life sentence and discovers that when they send you to Shawshank State Prison for life, that is exactly what they take.
Within the confines of Shawshank, Andy forms an unlikely friendship with the prison "fixer" Red (Morgan Freeman). He also becomes popular with the Warden and the prison's guards, as Andy is able to use his banking experience to help the corrupt officials amass personal fortunes.
With an extraordinary twist in the tale, Andy finds that survival comes down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying...

The Shawshank Redemption is the absolute definition of a classic film. It is a harrowing, sad, amazing story, wrapped in
pathos. Combined with the truly amazing score, it brings up all kinds of emotions.
It should have easily one best picture, but in the shadow of Forest Gump (excellent, but not quite as good as this), it lost out. The acting is brilliant overall especially from Morgan Freeman, and if you've read the novella in Different Seasons (see my review for this too!), you'll know thats exactly how they should be played.
In short, the best film of all time. Buy it now!
9.8/10
Terrific
