The Shawshank Redemption

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. The ugly realities of prison life are quickly introduced to Andy: a corrupt warden (Bob Gunton), sadistic guards led by Capt. Byron Hadley (Clancy Brown), and inmates who are little better than animals, willing to use rape or beatings to insure their dominance. 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.

One day a newcomer named Tommy (Gil Bellows) tells Andy that in prison he talked to an inmate named Ernie (Joseph Ragno) who said he killed a banker's wife and her boyfriend but that it was framed on Andy. Andy tells the warden who is skeptical. The Warden then has Tommy shot. Andy dosen't want to help the warden with his scam anymore but the warden blackmails him into further help by threatening to destroy the library. One morning, Andy is gone. The Guards search his cell and eventually find that he dug his way out of the wall with the hammer and hidden the hole with the poster. This feat took Andy nearly 20 years. Andy then takes the money accumulated from the scam(a bankers salary for 20 years) and leaves town. The police attempt to arrest the Warden who commits suicide. Red passes his parol board and reunites with Andy in a Pacific Mexican Town.

The movie is based on a book by Stephen King, bearing the same title.
