"Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free."
Framed
in the 1940s for the double murder of his wife and her lover,
upstanding banker Andy Dufresne begins a new life at the Shawshank
prison, where he puts his accounting skills to work for an amoral
warden. During his long stretch in prison, Dufresne comes to be admired
by the other inmates -- including an older prisoner named Red -- for his
integrity and unquenchable sense of hope.
