There was no fanfare or bunting put out for the release of the film back in 94, with a title that didn't give much inkling to anyone about what it was about, and with Columbia Pictures unsure how to market it, Shawshank Redemption barely registered at the box office. However, the arrival of another inmate is going to vastly change things for all of them. While things start to pick up when the warden finds Andy a prison job more befitting his talents as a banker. Andy finds it tough going but finds solace in the friendship he forms with fellow inmate Ellis "Red" Redding (Freeman). Starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, the film portrays the story of Andy Dufresne (Robbins), a banker who is sentenced to two life sentences at Shawshank State Prison for apparently murdering his wife and her lover. It is an adaptation of the Stephen King novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. The Shawshank Redemption is written and directed by Frank Darabont.
