About the film:
Internationally acclaimed actors Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman star in a compelling drama of hope, friendship and atonement behind the walls of a maximum-security prison in The Shawshank Redemption (1994). From a novella by best-selling author Stephen King comes a poignant tale of the human spirit and one of the most beloved films of all time, nominated for seven Academy Awards and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry in 1995.
“Simply marvelous entertainment.”
—Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune
Red (Freeman), serving a life sentence, and Andy Dufresne (Robbins), a mild-mannered banker wrongly convicted of murder, forge an unlikely bond that will span more than twenty years. Together they discover hope as the ultimate means of survival. Under horrifying conditions and the ever-present threat of violence, two lifers reclaim their souls and find freedom within their hearts in The Shawshank Redemption.
