The Shawshank Redemption - 1994

Plot: Two imprisoned men bond over a number of years, finding solace and eventual redemption through acts of common decency.

Story: Andy Dufresne is a young and successful banker whose life changes drastically when he is convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife and her lover. Set in the 1940's, the film shows how Andy, with the help of his friend Red, the prison entrepreneur, turns out to be a most unconventional prisoner.

Did you know: In the novella, the prisoners watch a screening of The Lost Weekend. Because the rights to this were owned by a different studio, Frank Darabont looked to see which old films he could show without incurring costs. He was delighted to see that one that he was able to use was Gilda - one of Rita Hayworth's greatest hits.
