Product Description

 
In writer-director Frank Darabont's THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison for the murders of his wife and her lover in the late 1940s. However, only Andy knows that he didn't commit the crimes. Sent to Shawshank Prison to do hard time, Andy--a taciturn banker in the outside world--has to learn to get by in the brutal, cutthroat confines of prison life. His quiet strength slowly earns the respect of his fellow inmates--most notably, Red (Morgan Freeman)--and even much of the prison staff. But Andy's seemingly stoic acceptance of his unjust imprisonment hides a fierce determination for freedom. This beautifully crafted movie features touching and sincere performances from the entire cast, with an uplifting message about humanity's indomitable spirit and the redemptive value of hope. Based on the novella RITA HAYWORTH AND SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION by Stephen King, Darabont's intriguing adaptation is easily one of the finest films of the 1990s.

"Hope is a dangerous thing" -The Shawshank Redemption (the excellent & excruciating w/o)

Date of Review:  Aug 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: The bottom line is spending a life sentence in the hole.
Review: When I was twelve years old, I read my first book by Stephen King. Being more or less nocturnal, I always found myself deep into The Shining in the middle of the night. At the time we had a new kitten that delighted in jumping onto my bed under the...

Professional Reviews

  (10/17/1999, p.5, Roger Ebert): "...THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION creates a warm hold on our feelings....It is deeper than most films; about continuity in a lifetime based on friendship and hope..."

Quotes from the Movie

  "I'm a regular Sears and Roebuck"--Red (Morgan Freeman), the man on the inside who "knows how to get things"

"First you hate 'em. Then you get used to 'em. After long enough, you get so you depend on 'em. That's institutionalized."--Red, referring to the prison walls

"The funny thing is--on the outside, I was an honest man, straight as an arrow. I had to come to prison to be a crook."--Andy (Tim Robbins)
