A murder case made banker Andy (played by Tim Robbins) unjustly imprisoned. The accusation of murdering his wife and her lover will imprison him for life. His first appearance in Shawshank Prison made prison "big brother" Red (Morgan Freeman) look at him differently. Rhett helped him get a stone hammer and a poster of a female star, and the two gradually became friends in adversity. Soon, Andy showed his talent in the prison, serving as the prison librarian, and used his financial knowledge to help the prison officer avoid taxes, which attracted the attention of the warden and was recruited to help the warden launder money. By chance, he learned that a newly imprisoned thief could testify to help him clear out of murder. With a glimmer of hope, Andy found the warden, hoping that he could help him reverse the case. The sinister and hypocritical warden pretended to promise Andy, but secretly sent someone to kill the thief, destroying his only hope of being released from prison legally. The frustrated Andy did not despair. On a stormy night with lightning and thunder, a jailbreak plan hidden for decades allowed him to redeem himself and regain his freedom! With his encouragement and help, his old friend Rhett also bravely ran toward freedom. The film received 10 Oscar nominations in 1995, as well as Golden Globe Awards, Saturn Awards and many other awards.
