Andy (Robbins) is sentanced to life for killing his wife and her lover - a crime he did not commit. While inside, he becomes friends with another lifer, Red (Freeman). Andy's experience as a banker gain him favors from the warden. But the warden soon has Andy running a money laundering sceme from inside the prison.

Abosultey the best fiilm of the year.With a wonderfully intersesting script and paced by two great performances, Shawshank is one of those rare films that make you think, "Why can't every movie be this good". Based on a Stephan King story, it's a powerful drama that should thrill even those who don't usually go for prison films.

Nominated for 7 Oscars including Best Picture and Best Actor (Freeman).

Directred by Frank Darabont.
