Written and directed by Frank
Darabont (The Green Mile, The Walking Dead), based on the 1982 Stephen King
novella “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption”, the film tells the story of
banker Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), who is sentenced to life in Shawshank State
Penitentiary for the murders of his wife and her lover, despite his claims of
innocence. Over the following two decades, he befriends a fellow prisoner,
contraband smuggler Ellis "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman), and becomes
instrumental in a scheme led by the prison warden Samuel Norton (Bob Gunton).
William Sadler, Clancy Brown, Gil Bellows, and James Whitmore appear in
supporting roles.
