Few movies capture the triumph of the human spirit as memorably as Frank Darabont's film The Shawshank Redemption, from the same Stephen King story collection that gave us "Stand by Me". Morgan Freeman plays Red, a lifer who knows to cope with the bleak hopelessness of Shawshank State Prison. Tim Robbins play a new inmate Andy, a quiet banker convicted of murder he didn't commit – and whose indomitable will earns Red's respect and friendship. Andy resourcefulness brings hope and change to the entire prison. He's full of surprises. And the best come last, leading to one of the most satisfying finales in film history.
