The Shawshank Redemption

















fear can hold you prisoner
hope can set you free..

The Shawshank Redemption is a 1994 American prison drama 
film written and directed by Frank Darabont, based on the Stephen King novella, Rita Hayworth and S
hawshank Redemption. The film stars Tim Robbins as Andrew "Andy" Dufresn
e and Morgan Freeman as Ellis Boyd "Red" Re
dding.
The film portrays Andy spending near
ly two decades in Shawshank State Prison, a fictional
 penitentiary in Maine, and his friendship with Red, a fellow inmate. This movie exemplifies the potential gap between initial box office succ
ess and ultimate popularity. Despite a lukewarm box office reception th
at was barely enough to cover its budget, The Shawshank Redemption received
 favorable reviews from critics and has since enjoyed a remarkable life on cable television, home videotape, DVD and 
Blu-ray. It continues to be hailed by critics and audiences alike, 15 years aft
er its initial release, and is ranked among the greatest films of all time.
