Starring Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, this movie tells the story of Andy Dufresne, a banker who despite his claims of innocence gets sentenced to life in the Shawshank State Prison for the murder of his wife and her lover. During his time at the prison he befriends a fellow inmate, Ellis Boyd “Red” Redding, an inmate also serving a life sentence. Over time he finds ways to live life with relative ease in the prison, sending out a message that while the body can be locked away in a cell, the spirit shall always remain free.
