"Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free"

The film's story begins in the year 1946. Andy Duphrane (Tim Robbins), an ex-banker is convicted of killing his wife and her lover in a gruesome and bloody fashion. He is sentenced to two terms of life imprisonment and is sent to Shawshank Prison. There, he encounters bad food, brutal guards, and a group of inmates called 'the sisters'.

But after some time, life begins to improve for Andy. Ellis 'Red' Redding (Morgan Freeman) takes to him after their first conversation, and they become good friends. Andy becomes a tax attorney for the guards and warden, who in return grant him privileges that include a cushy job at the library. He helps the warden (Bob Gunton) launder the money from kickbacks, making him too valuable for the warden to lose. This causes problems for Andy when proof of his innocence arises.
