It's about a man ( played by Tim Robbins), who was wrongfully imprisoned at Shawshank prison. He spends years there under terrible conditions, including being repeatedly raped. He befriends several other inmates, particularly the character played by Morgan Freeman. He cleverly plots his way to escape when the corrupt prison warden will not assist him after new evidence comes to light that he is, indeed, innocent of the charges against him.

I just finished rereading The Shawshank Redemption. I found it to be as good as when I first read it quite a few years ago. The plot centers around a narrator who tells the story of one man who was falsely imprisoned for many years and his indomitable spirit. Their experiences within the walls of the prison are sometimes brutal, always harsh. It shows how the human spirit can triumph over seemingly insurmountable odds. You should read it. Stephen King is a great writer.

Awesome movie with Tim Robinson and Morgon Freeman. Tim Robinson's character is in jail and is actually innocent. Morgon Freeman befriends him. Robinson is very intelligent and assists the guards with their taxes and gets special privileges. Eventually he (I don't want to ruin it)
It is a fantastic movie

I think it is ultimately about friendship and hope. It is a prison movie in a sense that Andy gets sent there for comitting a crime and he has to learn to acclamate and bulid relationships to survive. His relationship with Red is the best. If you have not seen the movie.. it is a "must see"..
