Set in a brutal prison during the 1940s, The Shawshank Redemption tells the story of Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), a banker convicted of two life sentences for the murder of his wife and her lover. Andy's ability to hope against all odds sets him apart from the other prisoners, including his friend Red (Morgan Freeman).
