In 1946\, a banker named Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is conv icted of a double murder\, even though he stubbornly proclaims his innocenc e. He's sentenced to a life term at the Shawshank State Prison in Maine\, w here another lifer\, Ellis "\;Red"\; Redding (Morgan Freeman)\, pic ks him as the new recruit most likely to crack under the pressure.
\n< p>The ugly realities of prison life are quickly introduced to Andy: a corru pt warden (Bob Gunton)\, sadistic guards led by Capt. Byron Hadley (Clancy Brown)\, and inmates who are little better than animals\, willing to use ra pe or beatings to insure their dominance. But Andy does not crack: he has t he hope of the truly innocent\, which (together with his smarts) allow him to prevail behind bars. He uses his banking skills to win favor with the wa rden and the guards\, doing the books for Norton's illegal business schemes and keeping an eye on the investments of most of the prison staff. In exch ange\, he is able to improve the prison library and bring some dignity and respect back to many of the inmates\, including Red. \nBased on a s tory by Stephen King\, The Shawshank Redemption was the directorial debut o f screenwriter Frank Darabont. ~ Mark Deming\, All Movie Guide
