Imprisoned 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.
When Reds 1st notice Andy as n newcomer in prison...They are betting to new guys Reds: My money on the tall guy the one with the silver spoon in his ash !!!... Epic !!
@ninja545 you better stop commenting on movies. If u don't like it, u don't need to wondering why people like it. Everybody doesn't have a same taste as u.
Those who write that this movie is bad or normal, I think you should stop commenting on movies..This movie is still among the best movies after 30 years. The subject, theme, actors, scenario, everything is perfect.
no wonder this movie is on top of all hitlists of best movies ever! It has all in it. suspense, thrill, drama, poetry. honestly i don't know a single person who wasn't deeply touched by this movie.
