The Shawshank Redemption

Frank Darabont wrote and directed The Shawshank Redemption, a 1994 American drama film based on Stephen King's 1982 novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. Despite his claims of innocence, banker Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is condemned to live in Shawshank State Penitentiary for the deaths of his wife and her boyfriend. He befriends a fellow prisoner, contraband smuggler Ellis "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman), and becomes involved in a money-laundering operation led by prison warden Samuel Norton over the next two decades (Bob Gunton).


While The Shawshank Redemption garnered positive reviews upon its original release, notably for its plot and performances by Robbins and Freeman, the film was a box office flop, grossing only $16 million during its first run. However, it went on to win several award nominations, including seven Academy Award nods, as well as a theatrical re-release that brought the film's box-office total to $73.3 million when combined with international earnings.
