At Shawshank, a bleak prison in New England, banker Andy Dufresne is sentenced to life for the murder of his wife and her lover, a crime he swears he didn’t commit. From behind those forbidding walls, Andy creates an unlikely bond with “Red,” a resourceful inmate who provides him with a small rock hammer. What starts as a time-filling hobby of chipping stones turns into an audacious escape plan. Andys struggle is one of endurance, against the ravages of time and in the brutal prison system; of resilience, against corruption, as he digs his way to freedom; and of hope, in showing that freedom is a state of mind. A story of justice, redemption and the unbreakable human spirit.
