I always thought this was a true story but I acquired the book which was written by Stephen King. Now i'm not sure if it was the book based on the film or vice versa

Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption was a short story by Stephen King in the book Four Seasons. It was the Spring story. Stand by Me was the Summer Story

The film is based on the book by Steven King - Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. One of the best nevertheless. As far as we know it is fiction but ask Mr King!

It is fiction. The movie is based on a novella by Stephen King called 'Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption' which was originally published as Different Seasons.

It's fiction then, based on facts such as prisons exist and this is how people were treated in them.
You're thinking of the film "Stand By Me" which is supposed to be an autobiographic account of Stephen Kings early years.
