Synopsis
Convicted in the 1940s for the murder of his wife and her lover, former banker Andy Dufresne is sent to Shawshank State Prison, where he must rebuild his life behind bars. Using his expertise with numbers, he becomes indispensable to a corrupt warden, and over the course of many years earns the respect of his fellow inmates—especially an older lifer called Red—who admire his moral strength and persistent optimism.
