Adapted from the Stephen King
novella
Rita Hayworth and Shawshank
Redemption, the film tells the story of Andy Dufresne, a
banker who spends 19 years in Shawshank State Prison for the murder of his wife
and her lover despite his claims of innocence. During his time at the prison,
he befriends a fellow inmate, Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding, and finds
himself protected by the guards after the warden begins using him in his money
laundering operation.
Despite a lukewarm box office
reception that barely recouped its budget, the film received multiple award
nominations and favorable reviews from critics for its acting and realism. It
has since enjoyed a remarkable life on cable
television, VHS,
DVD, and Blu-ray.
It was included in the American Film Institute's 100
Years...100 Movies 10th Anniversary Edition.
