5. Summary
In 1946, a banker named Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is
convicted of a double murder, even though he stubbornly
proclaims his innocence. He's sentenced to a life term at the
Shawshank State Prison in Maine, where another lifer, Ellis "Red"
Redding (Morgan Freeman), picks him as the new recruit most
likely to crack under the pressure. But Andy does not crack: he
has the hope of the truly innocent, which (together with his
smarts) allow him to prevail behind bars. He uses his banking
skills to win favor with the warden and the guards, doing the
books for Norton's illegal business schemes and keeping an eye
on the investments of most of the prison staff. In exchange, he is
able to improve the prison library and bring some dignity and
respect back to many of the inmates, including Red. And then
how because of his patience and persistence Andy manages to
escape and become a free bird.
6. Story
In 1947, banker Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is convicted
of murdering his wife and her lover, based on proof, and is
sentenced to two consecutive life sentences at Shawshank
State Penitentiary.
Andy quickly befriends smuggler Ellis "Red" Redding
(Morgan Freeman), an inmate serving a life sentence.
Red procures a rock hammer for Andy, allowing him to
create small stone chess pieces.
Red later gets him a large poster of Rita Hayworth, followed
in later years by images of Marilyn Monroe and Raquel
Welch.
7. Andy works in the prison laundry, but is regularly assaulted
by the "bull queer "gang "the Sisters" and their leader Bogs
(Mark Rolston).
Warden Samuel Norton (Bob Gunton) meets with Andy
and reassigns him to the prison library to assist elderly
inmate Brooks Hatlen (James Whitmore).
His advice and expertise are soon sought by other guards at
Shawshank and from nearby prisons. Andy begins writing
weekly letters to the state government for funds to improve
the decrepit library.
8. In 1966, after hearing the details of Andy's case, Tommy
reveals that an inmate at another prison claimed
responsibility for an identical murder, suggesting Andy's
innocence.
Andy approaches Norton with this information, but the
warden refuses to listen. Norton places Andy in solitary
confinement and has Hadley murder Tommy, under the
guise of an escape attempt.
After Andy is released from solitary confinement, he tells
Red of his dream of living in Zihuatanejo, a Mexican Pacific
coastal town. While Red shrugs it off as being unrealistic,
Andy instructs him, should he ever be freed, to visit a
specific hayfield near Buxton to retrieve a package.
9. The next day at roll call, upon finding Andy's cell empty, an
irate Norton throws one of Andy's rocks at the poster of
Raquel Welch hanging on the wall. The rock tears through
the poster, revealing a tunnel that Andy had dug with his
rock hammer over the previous two decades.
The previous night, Andy escaped through the tunnel and
While guards search for him the following morning, Andy,
posing as Randall Stephens, visits several banks to
withdraw the laundered money.
Finally, he sends the ledger and evidence of the corruption
and murders at Shawshank to a local newspaper. The police
arrive at Shawshank and take Hadley into custody, while
Norton commits suicide to avoid arrest
