Synopsis
From a novella by best-selling author Stephen King comes a poignant tale of the human spirit. Red (Freeman), serving a life sentence, and Andy Dufresne (Robbins), a mild-mannered banker wrongly convicted of murder, forge an unlikely bond that will span more than twenty years. Together they discover hope as the ultimate means of survival.
Even when they get their hands dirty (or bloody), you can’t help but root for them. You want them to get away with it… mainly just to see what they do next!
